One problem I can see on many templates is the use of proprietary font, like arial, times new roman, thorndale, etc: none of those fonts are installed on my Linux system, for instance. I think that a LibO default template must use the fonts delivered with LibO, otherwise there will be compatibility issues on different platforms and that's not good. Cheers, Ricardo
