Description Klaus Kusche 2017-06-07 08:56:37 UTC

As libreoffice no longer supports fonts in Type1 format,
Gentoo's URW fonts cannot be used in libreoffice any longer,
because Gentoo only provides Type1 URW fonts.

TTF (and even OTF) ports of the URW fonts exist
(e.g. http://svn.ghostscript.com/ghostscript/trunk/ghostpdl/urwfonts/)
and are provided as a separate package in many linux distributions.

Please replace the fonts in urw-fonts by their TTF versions
or provide a separate URW TTF package, 
it is needed for libreoffice documents containing URW fonts!
