LO dropped support for Type 1 fonts - I was unaware of this, but I just checked and sure enough, none of my Type 1 fonts can be selected in Writer (4.2.8.2 on Xubuntu 14.04). Fortunately I rarely use them any more, and they still appear in Scribus. I wonder if it was because Type 1 technology is owned by Adobe, not open source. But then, if memory serves, TrueType was cooked up by Apple and/or Microsoft to get around the Type 1 monopoly held by Adobe, so is TT not also closed source? And later didn't Adobe and Microsoft collaborate on creating OTF? This curiositizes me. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
