------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 17 22:09:04 -0800 2005 ------- I have been writing a document using Lucida Sans font, which OpenOffice has found in my Blackdown java installation. Two instances of the font appear in my OpenOffice font menu: "Lucida Sans", which comes from the Blackdown jre, and "lucidasans", from the Blackdown jde (or maybe vice-versa - I've forgotten now). However they appear to be identical. Each instance of the font consists of 4 files: a regular, oblique, demi-bold and demi-oblique. Oblique can be selected (as expected) by ctrl-I, and bold can be selected by ctrl_B. Regular and demi-bold seem to work fine. However when I tried to enter oblique text it displayed (and printed via cups) as demi-oblique. I played around a little, putting copies of the font in different directories, such as the OpenOffice fonts directory and /usr/share/fonts/TTF. When I did this the oblique displayed normally, but the demi-oblique displayed as regular oblique. The at least gives me a workaround, which is to use "Lucida Sans" for regular oblique and "lucidasans" for demi-oblique. The problem does not occur in Kword. I was also able to install the font into OS X (Aqua) where it behaved as it should. One thing I should mention, on the off-chance that it is connected, is that I cannot get previews of truetype fonts in my current installation of KDE, for reasons as yet unknown. I have noticed that a commercial version of Lucida has 5 weight/styles: reg, demi-bold, oblique, demi-oblique and bold. I wonder whether the fact that demi is a weight inbetween regular and bold might have something to do with OOo's confusion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
