[libreoffice-users] Bug: Controls in Calc change their position and size automatically
Hello My systems: LO3.4.3 on Win7 and LO3.3.3 on Linux Since a while I noticed, that controls like command-buttons and list-boxes change their position shape and size automatically. This phenomenon appear even if I protect their position and size. This happens for example after hiding or reshowing a column, but it appears also after closing and reopening a document. I think this is a general bug, because it appears in different versions of LO and if I remember well it even appeared in OO. Can anion confirm this bug? Is there already a bug- report?

Re: [libreoffice-users] [libreoffice-marketing] MS plans to force OEMs to add boot feature that blocks use of Linux and free software.
Hi :) Please can we try to tone-down this thread? This List should be supporting people that use LO on Windows (amongst other platforms). The various swear-words and stuff seem a little intimidating and may discourage people from daring to ask for help here. When people ask for help it is often useful to know which platform they are using and we don't want people to be afraid of admitting using Windows since that is our largest target market. Also it's not very kind or polite and i think we need to be both on this list.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [libreoffice-marketing] MS plans to force OEMs to add boot feature that blocks use of Linux and free software.
Hi :) It's less of an issue with Apple as it's already been subverted and people are quite happily installing dual-boots of other OSes alongside theirs. Often these things are scarier as a prospect than they turn out to be if/when it becomes reality. Lets hope MS implement it as successfully as they implement any security feature. If they do then it might become even easier to install dual-boots! Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 20/10/11, Rev. Nick Sharp nick.sh...@xalt.co.uk wrote: From: Rev.

Although M$ of today is much weaker there has been recent developments that could be interpreted that they maybe up to some of their old tricks with a slightly different twist to them. That's all I was trying to say. You would not be accusing MS of trying to lock everyone out of the OS.

We can buy new computers, just not those that come with Windows. Might even be an advantage since there will be a niche market in supplying hardware that is not restricted in that way.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Font mishap
It push comes to shove, I bet you can get TTF copies of the different Georgia fonts that are needed, then install them by the double click method. They should be the ones your system uses, since they are the newest ones. My LO seems to use them and they are listed in my .fonts folder. I do not remember if I installed the MS core font .deb package. I myself have Georgia.ttf Georgia Bold.ttf Georgia Bold Italic.ttf Georgia Italic.ttf Georgia Ref.ttf plus some of those in opentype fonts as well. As for Tahoma, I have it in regular, bold, and small cap bold. Actually one of the most universial fonts is Arial Unicode. It is the Unicode font that seems to have the most glyphs in it, and the largest size, 23 MB, as far as I am concerned.

Then I go over the fonts in the default viewer and click on the install button if I decide I want it. At that point I move that font from a to be looked at folder to a fonts-i-installed folder. I just tried it this way, with the same result.

They should be the ones your system uses, since they are the newest ones. My LO seems to use them and they are listed in my .fonts folder. I do not remember if I installed the MS core font .deb package. Unless I'm misunderstanding you here, this is what I just did at Tim's advice. It doesn't seem to have worked. I myself have Georgia.ttf Georgia Bold.ttf Georgia Bold Italic.ttf Georgia Italic.ttf Georgia Ref.ttf plus some of those in opentype fonts as well. The only one I'm missing is Ref, which I can't imagine would make a difference...? Also, mine use underscores rather than spaces between the words, could that be relevant? Thanks to you all for your help! This problem seems really trivial, but is actually keeping me from doing editing work. If you have any last ideas, please let me know.

I did this and get: DejaVuSans, Georgia, TimesNewRomanPSMT, TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT, Georgia-Bold, DejaVuSans-Bold. I'm not too sure what to do with this information, though, I admit...? That at least indicates that it does have Georgia and Georgia-Bold. My guess would be that it also has other fonts in it that you do not have installed (hence the DejaVuSans-Bold).

If so, just send me a copy directly ensure that you have 'Font mishap' in the Subject so that I don't drop the email as spam.
