Description

The Fontconfig library lets Windows applications find and use the system's TrueType fonts. Without it documents may be rendered with alternative fonts, thus modifying their layout. So it is strongly recommended to install this library for office-type applications.

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibfontconfig missinglibfontconfig.amd64

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

• For 32-bit Windows applications
  32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu fontconfig
  64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-fontconfig
  Debian : apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386
  32-bit Fedora : yum install fontconfig
  64-bit Fedora : yum install fontconfig.i686 fontconfig.x86_64
  32-bit openSUSE : zypper install fontconfig
  64-bit openSUSE : zypper install fontconfig-32bit
• For 64-bit Windows applications
  Arch Linux : pacman -Syu fontconfig
  Debian : apt-get install libfontconfig1:amd64
  Fedora : yum install fontconfig.x86_64
  openSUSE : zypper install fontconfig

Notes:

• cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
• The commands usually also apply to derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
