Bug Description

I tried to open an OpenDocument presentation with text formatted in Adobe Source Sans (OpenType version installed). But LibreOffice did not recognise the latest version of this font despite refreshing font cache several times.

Adolfo, can you please elaborate on what you mean by not implemented yet?
I don't see any indication that opentype support is not implemented in libreoffice (it seems that there's no UI to select specific opentype features, but fonts should definitely be listed at the very least).
