Hi James,
James Greenidge a écrit :
Thanks for the tip and rapid response!
You're welcome :-)
Next start, you'll be able to use native fonts. Note that just the
first start with fondu is longer (because native fonts extraction).
By "native fonts" I assume you mean those that NeoO can read but Mac OOo
can't?
OpenOffice.org can use every Apple font. Just some extensions are not
available, since Apple does not authorize hinting ( yes, for patent
reason :-/ ) with freetype.
Software Patents are bad one more time.
There are a few, among which AdineKirnberg-Script Regular,
Balerina-Normal, Aristrocrat and Balzac Regular I really need in from
Neo, especially since my recent stumble with NeoO1.1 puts it out of
action (see topic "Clicking Menu Bar Makes NeoO1.1 Quit").
Sorry, no idea
I installed
Fondu then restarted my Mac then re-installed Mac OOo 2.0r3 and
apparently it converted a majority of NeoO fonts
These fonts are just native Apple fonts, found in /System/Library/Fonts
and in /Library/fonts
, but nowhere near all
the fonts available in my Font Book, but that's alright; there's just
around ten critical ones I need.
Ok, I have understood : you have installed these important fonts in
another place than in
/System/Library/Fonts and /Library/fonts. If necessary, I can help you
directly (my address is valid).
2 solutions :
Common : delete .fondudone first
In a terminal, just enter :
sudo rm -f /Applications/OpenOffice.org\
2.0/Contents/openoffice.org/share/fonts/truetype/.fondudone
Or maybe, if you are using m133 :
sudo rm -f
/Applications/OpenOffice.org2.0/Contents/openoffice.org/share/fonts/truetype/.fondudone
First solution :
copy *all* your necessary additional fonts in /Library/Fonts
restart OpenOffice.org 2.0 -> all fonts should be available
Second solution (less simple, and needs more time) :
give me the dir where your additional fonts are, and I'll send you a new
applescript to make them available.
Still, be nice to have Fondu flag a
user of fonts it can't convert for some reason or other to kill
uncertainty.
Your feedback is very important for us : already some requests have been
done, and your new one let me think that we now have enough informations
to propose something really efficient for all users.
I have ideas ... stay tuned :-)
I'll be glad when OOo automatically runs a Fondu-like
program upon installation and maybe even as a option of auto-converting
any downloaded new fonts which land in your Font book because regular
non-techie type normal folks would find this whole font conversion
process intimidating.
I can provide you such script (let me sme time), and if you are
interested, you'll be my tester.
There doesn't appear to be any real change in Courier 12 or if there's
any it's too slight to notice, however there's a pleasant marked change
in other fonts; a noticeable smoothing.
ok
Also, Courier font sizes larger
than 12 seem to more resemble Courier as it's meant to be, though any
smoothing is not as evident as it is in other fonts.
ok
The Courier 12
version in OOo looks more "blocky" and angular than normal, resembling
the "digital" numbers found the bottom of bank checks. It's really ugly.
Maybe I just have a bad version of Courier, so I'm on a Courier hunt.
Could you send me screenshots (directly), please ?
For patents reasons, I'm not sure we can make this available, excepted
using native font server (will need some time).
Regards,
eric bachard
