Hello,
While trying to ‘setup’ some style for ‘Calc’ pages, I noticed some fonts missing in the dropdown list.
It always starts with “Arial” and ends with some “sitka”. “Tahoma” font and more are missing.
For your info.
Thanks

There is not such problem in my LO 7.1.4 portable version, on my 1920 x 1200 resolution display - even if I choose Small/Large/Extra Large icons in the View menu of the LO.
Hello,
Thanks for the answer.
My screen resolution is 1366 x 768, this is the highest for my display.
I wonder why in 6.4.6 version the fonts are displayed as on sample I sent.
Tried to enter in the fonts replacement table, to replace Arial and Calibri both to Tahoma, clicked Apply. Closed and reopened, tried to open a blanc ‘calc’ page, default font is still Arial.
All the best.

Tahoma is a Microsoft related font. It is not a part of the LibreOffice installer. If you have installed it with the Windows or with other MS related softwares, then it must be appeared in the Font list inside the LibreOffice.
“Tahoma was an official font supplied with Office 97, Office 2000, and Office XP, and was freely distributed with Word Viewer 97. Tahoma was the default screen font used by Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 (replacing MS Sans Serif) and was also used for Skype and Sega’s Dreamcast packaging and promotional material. Bundled in the font library of Windows, the typeface was widely used as an alternative to Arial.”
I had MS Viewer on my Win7 - before I upgraded it to Win10. This is a reason, why I have the Tahoma font on my PC.
Hello,
Made a comparison about the dropdown fonts list, 7.1.4 version and 6.4.6 version. Could not take straight screenshots so used the camera to take the screen pictures, the quality not so good but its self-explained.
Made on each shot notes.
Cannot find where is a link to upload to you the images, if you show me how to upload it, then I’ll send them and see for yourself, (I do not know how to upload to a certain site so please show me how)

“Cannot find where is a link to upload to you the images,”
Edit your first post (it is your “question”). You will see the attachment icon.
There is a bug, tdf#90871, in the sidebar fonts lists that takes the list underneath the Windows Taskbar; it should stop at the Taskbar. Scrolling with a mouse should get you to the end of the fonts except the last one. You can also drag the sidebar slightly wider to make the scroll bar visible.
Workaround is to use the Font Name list in the Formatting toolbar, or the Format cells dialog box, Format > Cells. Cheers, Al
