Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12778
Wrong fontname in EPS export
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:52:24 UTC
In Draw and Impress, when I export a figure which has text in 'Helvetica Italics' to eps, using the option 'don't export glyph outlines', the name of the font appearing in the generated .eps file is 'HelveticaOblique', but should be 'Helvetica-Oblique' (note the '-'). 'Helvetica bold' e.g. is correctly exported to 'Helvetica-Bold'. My acrobat distiller then does not recognize 'HelveticaOblique' and substitutes it with 'Courier', producing quite ugly results :( Inserting the missing '-' in the .eps file by hand fixes this problem. This bug appears also on Linux and Solaris platforms. I didn't test if it happens for other fonts, too.
This is a known issue and should be fixed in OO1.1 beta. Thanks for your help.
Closed.
