I don't know how it's done in MS office, but this will most likely raise issues for some fonts that are not free. Sometime, you only have a license to use a font to produce a document, and not redistribute it; embedding it in a document might become a big issue in this case, no ? -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
