My fonts (incl. TT fonts from MS) seem properly installed, as a host of
applications use them, yet, although I can display all kind of fonts in kde
apps, they will only print in one font, no matter my settings. The font is an
unidentified sans serif font (perhaps Arial, as I can also print Hebrew, and
didn't install Culmus). OOo is will to print in other fonts, as well,
although it get picky with Hebrew when printing directly. PDFs by OOo are
always OK, whereas pdfs by KOffice have the same problems as the printed
pages.
In short:
* I use kde 3.1.4 on fedora with the latest stable koffice (1.2.x). The fonts
are those that are necessarily on the system plus some ms webfonts. OOo is
1.1.0-6.
* All desired fonts can be used in just about any application on screen, so
the fonts seem properly installed.
* My locale includes ctype=he_IL.utf8 and thus I can print Hebrew from kde
apps.
* qtconfig was used to check embed fonts when printing.
* Why won'r kde print with anything else then that sans serif font?
* I wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (IIRC) about the OOo issues, but got no
response yet. I am, however, not asking about it now, I merely mentioned it
as it shows where the fonts do and where they don't work.
My guess is that it may have something to do with the lack of afm files for
the TT fonts, so that ghostscript can't handle it. Yet, the font directory
with the TT fonts is recognized by the KDE font installer (installed as
root), so those files should exist. OOo may use its own,
ghostscript-independent system for generating the PDFs, which is why those
are not affected.
Thanks for any help,
