Altough Rich has resolved this with moving to Calligra (part of KDE), I'll toss this out for any others. Rich didn't say which Type 1 (or missing fonts) he has been using. With F/OSS there is always a good work around. TrueType and Opentype, especially, are the new "hotness", in particular when supporting unicode (utf8 etc). Adobe Type 1 fonts have limitations and are largely deprecated. Opentype is especially designed for cross-platform compatibility: The on screen and printed document will look the same no matter the Operating System, software or device. 1. You can use fontforge to convert font formats. For example: https://fontforge.github.io/faq.html#outline-conversion You can also often find that someone has already done this. If you PURCHASED (!) type 1 font packs from Adobe, you may be able to download the equivalent TTF or OTF versions: http://www.adobe.com/products/type/opentype/opentype-T1-faq.html 2. If you are using standard MS Windows fonts, you can install the webcore-fonts package in your linux distro distribution. Although desigbed for the screen for website display, they work quite well as 3. Libreoffice and other office apps allow you to set a font substition table. When you import a document the table will be used to replace the missing font with another, equivalent font from available TTF and OTF fonts. It is a bit tedious to set up, but when done, does work well. -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
