What version do you use?
The debian one.
So I need to copy or network mount the fonts on the remote machine? No chance of using XFS running on the server to let the client have the fonts?The version of Debian uses client-side rendering (Xft). The ones from OOo[.il] use the traditional server-side rendering.
With client-side rendering you need to make the client aware of the fonts. In server-side rendering you only need to configure the server.
My questions:
Where should my fonts be for things to work in this configuration?
If you use Xfs: you need to make the fonts available to your client:
Make sure the remote machine has the fonts are under /usr/share/fonts or
use whatever it takes to make them available through fontconfig .
I tried installing msttcorefonts on the client, and the problem was solved. I'm confused, however. The client is not running X, why should it even care what fonts are installed there?Will running XFS help in any way?Only if you use server-side rendering. But (as the client in this case
is OpenOffice) the client still needs those fonts deined through OOo's
spadmin.
Running Mozilla-firebird exhibited the same symptoms exactly. Is that a Debian thing?
