The same argument could be used of TrueType fonts. Users should have replaced or converted their fonts. Why should they, when support for them remains? Of note, due to lack of PS Type 1 support in DirectWrite/Direct2D layout Microsoft dropped Type 1 font use from Office 2013. What about GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, and other free software, all of which still support Type 1 fonts? These are applications that LibreOffice users are likely to interact with. Yes, Type 1 fonts are no longer state of the art. However, they remain usable, and, if nothing else, are important for legacy documents. Many designers have invested substantially in Type 1 fonts over the years, and this decision leaves them stranded. That said, anyone affected by this decision might be interested in the chart of free font equivalents for proprietary fonts that I drew up about a year ago: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/Free-equivalents-for-standard-proprietary-fonts Any additions to this table would be welcome.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to delete ~/.config/libreoffice/
change ¨4¨ into ¨4old¨ did not solve my problem. Andre Thanks Op 26-02-17 om 08:55 schreef Robert Großkopf: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andre, I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Could be yor problem is: I can't find ~/.config on my system. Close LO. Use your filemanager, for example Dolphin in KDE. Set View > Hidden files. So you could enter .config on your home-directory. Enter libreoffice. You could rename "4" to "4_old". Could be you installed a special Suse-version. So you have to rename "4-suse" to "4-suse_old". The new config-directory will be created when starting LO new. I won't delete the old directory because I don't know if you have saved something like user-defined dictionary inside it.
