Hi Norbert,

thanks for your excellent analysis!

So this is a bug in libreoffice?

I find this strange, as the fontconfig package trigger already 
declares interest in this directory, but fontconfig itself does not 
include it in its search path?

$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/fontconfig.triggers
interest /usr/share/fonts
interest /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
interest /usr/share/texmf/fonts

$ grep -r share /etc/fonts/
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf:	<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf:	<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> 
<dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>

Is this a bug in fontconfig?

  - Fabian
