I got a similar issue with Writer and thanks to the Michael Opdenacker directions I fixed it, however I deleted all the Nimbus fonts and then rebuilt the font cache, after that I reinstalled finally the fonts the same way Mr. Opdenacker suggested and the strange font behavior stopped.
So far my variations to said commands. The numbers 03, 04, 23 and 24 correspond to the other Nimbus fonts present on my system: rm /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n0190{03,04,23,24,43,44,63,64}l.* sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig apt-get install --reinstall gsfonts I don't know if this is relevant to this bug, but I post it hoping it can help to fix the situation. Thanks to Michael Opdenacker for the solution! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779366 Title: [Upstream] Font "Nimbus Sans L" squashed in Impress slideshow Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress libreoffice-impress: Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen in Impress via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/779366/+attachment/2119346/+files/fontbug.odp && loimpress --nologo fontbug.odp is the text with Nimbus Sans L font looks in edit view as it does in slide show. 4) What happens instead is the font shows differently in slide show https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/779366/+attachment/2119348/+files/fontbug_slideshow.png versus edit mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/779366/+attachment/2119347/+files/fontbug_editview.png ORIGINAL REPORTER COMMENTS: Observed in amd64 Natty (LibreOffice); not present in amd64 Maverick (OpenOffice).
