how to use more of Windows fonts in Writer ?

Writer has only part of the Constantia font family but Windows 7 has 4 including italic
which is what I need. How can I get the use of the italic so I don’t just style the font italic
in a fake way ? Also, how can I get Writer to show more fonts which are on my system ?
Thanks !

According to this question the problem is the opposite: LO shows hidden Windows fonts. However, according to the Wiki, this is entirely an issue for the Operating System, and LO/OO uses the fonts that the OS gives it.

I suspect that the issue for you may be due to profile corruption. To both check & fix:-

  1. Shutdown LO (including any quickstarter)
  2. Rename your profile folder
    (this is the folder location + additional help)
  3. Restart LO & re-check

If this helps then please tick the answer (:heavy_check_mark:).

thanks for trying ! didn’t do anything though. I use Win7 and it shows Constantina font family of 4
LO only shows 1 and no italic version.
