I’ve installed the font Latin Modern Roman (I’ve copied *.otf files for different varieties of the font in /usr/share/fonts/opentype) on two computers with the same OS : Linux Mint 21.3. Both computers also have the same version of LO : 25.2.
On the first computer, the font only appears once in the fonts list of Writer, it’s named Latin Modern Roman.
On the second computer, the font appears many times in the list : LM Roman 10, LM Roman 12, … , LM Roman Caps 10, …
When I use the font in a file with the Computer 1, I can open it with the Computer 2 and the font is correctly applied, but its name appears in the font list in italic (with the name Latin Roman Modern, as on Computer 1) …
Could I make Computer 2 behave like Computer 1 ?
This means the font is NOT found and a replacement is shown instead.
How did you install the fonts? There are built-in configuration tools but they vary with the desktop manager (Gnome, KDE Plasma, MATE, Xfce, LxQt, … – which is yours?)
Fonts may be installed system-wide with these tools or for a single-user. What did you do?
My desktop manager is Gnome.
I installed the font on the two computers by copying them into /usr/share/fonts/opentype/ and then using the command line “sudo fc-cache -f /v”.
I am under KDE Plasma. The System Settings (Control Center in Gnome) has a Fonts utility where I can choose between system-wide and single user. It handles the copy to the ad-hoc directories. Thus I don’t know where to look. My /usr/share/fonts/ has no opentype/. The various family subfolders contain .otf .afm and .t1 files. .afm is related to metrics. User-only fonts are in ~/.fonts.
