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
  • 64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-fontconfig
  • Debian : apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386
  • 64-bit Fedora : yum install fontconfig.i686 fontconfig.x86_64
  • 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.
