I don't hate you Rainer, but as it stands, Open Office without FONT embedding as
a default setting (or a decent hack) for the fonts used in that document / work
/ creation etc., It's just like getting a car - from a car yard, up on bricks
with no wheels and no engine; sure you can buy it, sure you can ride around in
it all day - as long as you make the "Broooom Broooom" noises and never leave
the car lot.
I mean the font sets in it are great - love them; and Open Office - as long as
you only use the fonts that came with it - it's fantastic; but I happen to do a
huge variety or work with a large-ish range of fonts - that come from a huge
range of software; I still have my OLD Word Perfect documents I made from 15
years ago.....
To me it seems as if the embedding of fonts is an end user issue; because
everything in OO is I assume are "free" fonts; everything almost everyone else
has is what they have paid for, with their software and their systems; or they
are free from the net / on computer magazine CD's or purchased from a supplier;
And to me it seems that IF company A has an issue with person B embedding their
own fonts that they paid to use, in company A's software or in using the same
fonts to create the same document in the OO software - I mean like what is the
difference?
They have paid to use that FONT to create the documents that they choose to
create, with the software that they choose to create;
To me it is an end user issue; it's not the place of people in OO to dictate
these terms to the end users.
And along with all the freeware / purchased fonts etc., it's certainly not the
place of the people in OO to dictate that they cannot embed the fonts that they
have obtained / purchased - to place a restriction on the end user.
I tend to view that as a constraint of trade.
