Is missing fonts logged somewhere?

Installation & Configuration
1

We are attempting to roll out Collabora online in the public sector here in Denmark, where the norm is using Microsoft Office. We encounter missing fonts now and then, but only when customers complain directly to us. Which we then install for them.

Is there any way to catch that a font is missing automatically?

I’ve tried to search the log using the keyword “font” without luck.

Edit: we are using a docker host Collabora code installation btw, I searched for logs in the following way:

“docker-compose logs | grep font”

hello @CBra-GPE

You can configure Collabora to report missing fonts if it’s not already set up. In the coolwsd.xml, look for:

<fonts_missing>
    <handling desc="How to handle fonts missing in a document: 'report', 'log', 'both', or 'ignore'" type="string" default="log">log</handling>
</fonts_missing>

Try changing the value to report or both. that might help detect missing fonts more clearly.

Thank you for responding :slight_smile:

If I change it to “both” or “report” the user is informed when opening the document, which is good. But we still don’t see anything in the logs about fonts missing, I will probably report that as a bug.

If I set the log level to debug, it works :slight_smile:
