Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply.

Have tried a document formatted with Calibri Light and just a blank new doc.
Calibri Light does not show up in the dropdown font list at the top of the
page in LO 4.1.3.2. In the document itself the text formatted with Calibri
Light shows Calibri Light in italics at the top of the LO window indicating
that LO doesn't find the font and is substituting another font. Same doc in
LO 4.0.5 shows Calibri Light in the dropdown list as well as correctly using
the font in the document.

I am the only user on the machine. I have checked that it is available,
enabled and verified using the OSx Font Book app. that comes with OSx. I went
so far as to remove the whole Calibri Font family from the system, rebooted
and verified it was gone then reinstalled the Calibri Family again. The
symptoms after that were  identical to before.

Seems to me that if one version sees the font that it is available to the
system and the issue has to be with LO 4.1.3.2.

Opened OpenOffice and it sees the font just fine. Actually it sees better
that LO 4.0.5 in that it shows Calibri Light and Calibri Light Italic in the
font list. LO 4.0.5 only shows Calibri Light.

Time for a bug report it seems to me.
