(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #19)

You're conflating the fonts I used in an example with a bug that _is_
LibreOffice. 

* A font (regardless if its proprietary or not) cannot in itself make LO use
another, unrelated font in its stead (unless its a proper substitution).
* LO choosing a "font style" which is not one of the styles it acknowledges as
existing cannot be an issue with the font itself - even if the font was totally
corrupt and unusable.
* If the same font results in reasonable behavior on Windows but not on Linux,
with older versions but not with newer ones - it's not (or not only) an issue
with the font.

so it is not a "NOTOURBUG".

Again, if you don't like the fonts I used for the example - fine, just declare
that you can't reproduce it for reasons of intellectual property rights. That
just means it's difficult to investigate the bug, that's all. 

If you want to open the bug again without the links and with the same priority
and severity - please do so. I'll try to find other examples, but it's not so
easy, since there's a correlation between what the font files are like (and
what behavior they trigger in LO) and their legal status.
