            Bug ID: 138325
           Summary: Some OTF font names are exported in PDF as "DummyName"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: yves.roggeman at ulb.ac.be

This bug may concern other environments.
Some OTF font names are not exported to PDF, but when the same font is
converted into a TTF format, the name is correctly exported.
This bug is detected, for example, with Adobe fonts “Source Code Pro”, a.s.o.
This problem does not occur systematically with all other document production
software, so it seems to be actually LO-related.
After reporting it to Adobe font designers, it seems that LO PDF module uses
Mac specific name table entries in OTF file that are no more standard and that
even MacOS no more uses.
And most modern font files no more include this entries.
LO should be able to use the Standard OTF/TTF format in order to export to PDF
correctly.
