Package: libreoffice-writer
Version: 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u6
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg@mirbsd.de

Using the attached font (yes, libre licences) in a document
then either exporting that to PDF or printing it to a file
results in output that cannot directly be printed.

To add insult to injury, as the font is both subset and
embedded (knobs to disable either, separately, would be
VERY welcome), I cannot even use Ghostscript to add the
OS’ copy of the font with e.g. ps2pdf.

The problem here seems to be that the font is subset as
a stream that neither my girlfriend’s printer nor
GhostScript understand: the printer just drops it, and:

$ gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH '-sDEVICE=pdfwrite' '-sOutputFile=/tmp/x.pdf' -dSAFER '-dSubsetFonts=true' '-dEmbedAllFonts=true' '-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4' -f bla.pdf
[…]
   **** Error: can't process embedded font stream,
        attempting to load the font using its name.
               Output may be incorrect.
[…]

The embedded font name is: BAAAAA+Inconsolatazi4[varl,varqu]Regular

I think something goes wrong with at least the name.
The font name is actually: Inconsolatazi4varl_qu

Its “human display name” is: Inconsolata zi4[varl,varqu] Regular

However, LibreOffice uses *that* instead of the proper psname
as base for the embedded font name, and at *least* that seems
to choke consumers of the resulting PDF.

And, yeah, output is incorrect — the ps2pdf output drops the
glyphs from the font.

$ pdffonts bla.pdf 
name                                 type              encoding         emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- ---------
BAAAAA+Inconsolatazi4[varl,varqu]Regular Type 1            Builtin          yes yes yes      9  0


Other applications, such as Mu͒seScore, can use that font just fine,
although it does not subset it.


Oh, and I noticed #965236 is also still open, meaning PDF files
generated by LibreOffice aren’t legal to distribute…
