I think TDF and LO are betting on the wrong horse. It's not only going to start the race much later but also there seems to be no guarantee that it will run faster or better (if Charles' statement is correct they aren't even on the same race because their goals are different) In any case, if LibreOffice's goal is to be a suite that stands behind the ODF format then it should review what it promises. If it can't embed fonts, it can never be a replacement for MS Office. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Font-Embedding-in-ODF-was-RE-ANN-ODF-1-2-Candidate-OASIS-Standard-Enters-60-Day-Public-Review-tp3106577p3107356.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
