Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-impress:
  Installed: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3
  Version table:

3) What is expected to happen in Impress via a terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/695898/+attachment/2656056/+files/slide6.ppt && loimpress --nologo slide6.ppt

is the "Goudy Old Style" font size and look is the same as in the PowerPoint 2010 screenshot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/695898/+attachment/3428000/+files/screenshot2.png .

4) What happens instead is the font size and look is not the same as per the Impress screenshot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/695898/+attachment/3427997/+files/Screenshot1.png .

This was first identified in LO 3.3.0, as well as OOo 3.2.1.

One possible solution is to map Goudy Old Style, when the actual font GOUDOS.TTF is not installed, to the Goudy Bookletter 1911 font provided by the package ttf-goudybookletter https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-goudybookletter . While it is not exactly the same pixel for pixel (ex. the half circle center of the "e" points slightly upwards in Goudy Bookletter 1911, while in Goudy Old Style it's flat), it's so close otherwise to be virtually indistinguishable. As well, this solution would minimize round trip complaints.

Following provides solutions for this report:
1) If you don't have a Goudy Old Style font file, in LO click Tools -> Options -> Fonts -> check checkbox Apply replacement table -> drop down box Font Goudy Old Style -> drop down Replace with Goudy Bookletter 1911 -> click check mark -> check checkbox Always -> button OK.

2) If you do have a Goudy Old Style font file, copy font files from MS Office 2010 WINE install:
sudo cp ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/*.TTF /usr/share/fonts/msofficefonts && sudo cp ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/*.TTC /usr/share/fonts/msofficefonts && sudo fc-cache -f -v
