            Bug ID: 125960
           Summary: Need new set of favorite fontwork shapes in the
                    Fontwork Gallery
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rb.henschel at t-online.de

The current set of "Favorite" shapes in the Fontwork Gallery are not well
usable. Problems:
* The shapes are stored in the (hidden) gallery theme "sg36". Because that is a
binary format, it is nearly impossible to maintain them.
* The files, which are stored in this theme, come from OOo2. At that time, fill
bitmaps where not included in the file, but taken from the Gallery. So the fill
bitmap is now missing in favorite 04, 08, 23, 25, 27, 29, 35 and 38.
* OOo2 had use a gradient filling, where each character is filled separately.
LibreOffice stretches the fill gradient over the entire shape (and that is
good). So the preview images in the files are wrong. And those are shown in the
Gallery window. That happens with favorite 03, 10, 11, 16, 17, 19, 24, 26 and
39.
* The shadow, which you actually get differs from the shadow shown in the
thumbnails. The actual light in the 3D-shapes is different from the light shown
in the thumbnails.
* There exists no favorite with multi-line text.
* MS Office has 40 preset text warp types. The favorites cover only 26 types,
and the others are not reachable via the "Shape Type" window. (The "Shape Type"
window needs likely an improvement too, but that is a different topic.)
* The favorites are very old. Tastes change.
