Now that I have 17.10, LibreOffice fonts no longer match up with my old documents, I.e., the fonts that I used to use have disappeared!
I now have a whole lot of fonts for languages other than American English. Now I realize that American English is not used throughout the world and Kubuntu is used internationally, but I am literate in one language only and that is American English. In my previous experience with LibreOffice, I could choose which language fonts I wanted to use. It appears, at least as far as my investigations have found, that I can no longer do that. I have to use all of those other language fonts irregardless of whether I can read and write them. Having those other fonts may be nice, but I have also lost those English Latin fonts that I used prolifically.
When I now open an old document in LibreOffice All of those fonts I used to use are displayed in Time New Roman, which isn't a bad font, but it is NOT the font used in creating the document which gave a better visual effect.
LibreOffice claims that the font displayed is the font I originally used, but it is really Times New Roman. Big Difference.
Looking on the internet (wiki.documentfoundation.org), I find that the fonts used in LibreOffice are now families of fonts. None of those listed contains the fonts I used and loved.
Does anyone know how to tell LibreOffice how to use only American English latin fonts? I could find no way to do that. I seems that the LibreOffice developers have decided that the users are going to have to use the fonts they have settled on and only those. Well probably not, but they do not make it easy to change the fonts desired.
