For me: Every program I have ever owned (paid for) and used (free) I have
generally scanned them for images and fonts - to add to my own database.
I have also downloaded stacks of free stuff from the web.
I image that many other people would be doing the same or similar things.
I also image that many other people would be using other programs and have the
fonts that came with those programs installed into the windows common fonts
database.
So free and or legal use of their "own fonts" is their or OUR own business.
I use the Open Office Draw to wholly or in part or in conjunction with other
software to create engineering drawings, posters and photographic works - along
with books, and manuals and standard business and personal documents.
The problem I have is when I use any of the Open Office programs to create
"documents or works" and when I transfer the "document" or "works" to a
different computer OR just as bad - which makes me look like an idiot; and it
also means that I cannot use Open Office programs to submit "works" or
"assignments" or things that earn me an income in the native OO formats; because
all of the fonts I have used in the creation of those works, are NOT embedded in
the works.
And so when I transfer my works to another computer or I send them to another
person who doesn't have the same font set on their computers, the document
reverts from clever and specific layouts, with specific fonts, quite often with
specific sizes, character, word and line spacing -
So instead of seeing 400 point Le Grande Artistic Flourish as a headline font on
a A1 poster, I get times new roman 12 point font.
That makes whatever I create worthless.
I can't use it / make or modify it across a number of computers.
I can't send it to other people for evaluation, modification, marking or sales.
It makes what ever I create as a stand alone work, on a stand alone computer
that ONLY works on that specific computer.
When this software makes all of my hard work WORTHLESS - then we have a problem.
So Mr Rainer Sir - I do NOT agree with any of your arguments.
Because not only does this cause ME a MAJOR PROBLEM - it also causes MILLIONS OF
OTHER PEOPLE all around the world - the exact same problem.
Basically sending "defective works" to other people - is much like sending them
malware that instead of deleting their programs on their computer - it deletes
the contents and formatting of the documents that they use on their computer.
It is NOT an acceptable outcome for you to say that this is OK and that the
issue is resolved.
I and millions of other people all around the world, want the embedding of the
fonts used in that documents and works that WE create, to be the default state;
So that when WE save and send or move that document around, or archive it for
all posterity - it is, and it will remain in the exact same state that WE
produced it in.
Embedding of the fonts used in the creation of the "works" or documents, is a
very important issue.
In fact for the issues of interoperability from different systems and different
locations and with different people and departments, failing to embed the fonts
used cripples the distribution of the document creators works.
IF the "works" and documents need to be archived as historical records, failing
to embed the documents makes them worthless.
So Mr Rainer, this issue is NOT resolved and it's only going to be resolved when
the embedding of the total format used in the documents and works, is the
defacto standard for all Open Office programs.
