Re: [libreoffice-users] Font problem
Good morning, Thanks for your kind and quick reply. I tried to put the missing fonts in ~/.fonts but LO was not able to see them. Yes, the fonts are type1 fonts. Following your suggestion about type1 fonts, I have been searching for the equivalent fonts in truetype (especially the famous (for scientists) fonts from ams). Such fonts are available here http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/CTAN/help/Catalogue/entries/bakoma-fonts.html I put them in usr/share/fonts/truetype then sudo fc-cache -v -f and PIM PAM (as they say here in Spain) it works now. I can now finish my congress presentation in extremis. I still don't understand why the type1 did not work. Anyway, your suggestion helped me a lot. If I see you one day, I should pay your a beer. Many thanks. Bye. -- Roland Pastorino Website : www.rolandpastorino.com 2012/2/20 webmaster for Kracked Press Productions webmas...@krackedpress.com Are the missing fonts listed in the hidden folder .fonts? It looks like your font is a Type1 font. Do you have a TTF version? I do not use Type1 anymore. Are they called LMS Math Symbol? or LMS Math Extensions? I have a lot of Math symbols in my very large TTF [and some Type1 and OTF] font collection [over 100,000 ttf / otf files]. If you give my the name of the font file, then I will see if I have the TTF file[s] for that font and give it to you. I know that ALL of my fonts, including specialty ones, that are listed in the .fonts folder [/home/Timothy/.fonts] are seen in my version of LO on Ubuntu 10.04LTS 64-bit. If you want, contact me at my webmaster @ krackedpress.com or my webmaster @ libreoffice-na.us email address off this list and I will do my best to get you the needed TTF font to be installed in that .fonts folder.

[libreoffice-users] buying a font to use with libreoffice: OTF, TTF or PS?
Hello, I'm hit by this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42427 Short: The OTF-font that I will be using in our new 'office identity' is not printed correctly using the default 'output to PDF'. Printing to PS has some side effects (slower printing, bold characters are printed as regular characters, etc.) Before starting to use our new 'office identity', I will buy the necessary licences to use that font and it seems I can choose to receive the font in OTF, TTF and PS. I would like to use the OTF-version, since (iirc) this is technically the better choice, but I'm afraid to spend money on something that might be troublesome for a while to come (our office uses debian stable with backports, so a libreoffice version where this bug is squashed will not be in our official repo's very soon...).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Font problem
There is a difference between putting them in the folder and installing them. You click on the fonts and a window opens up and then click on the install button. That places the font in the .font folder and places references to it to all the other places needed for it to work properly.

[libreoffice-users] Endnotes are hidden together with reference numbers!!!
In scientific texts is common and for some articles in many journals necessary to make an extra endnote for each reference. These journals also demand that within the text more than 2 subsequent reference numbers should be written like: 2-5. If libreoffice should be really an alternative for usage in scientific writing at universities the correct implementation of a feature as given in MS-office is absolutely vital. Otherwise the open office writer is not usable for millions of students and scientists. If you write 2- 3 4 5 and try to hide 3 4 (together with the spaces), the endnotes themselves are also hidden. A work around using small font size and white color leads to terrible spaces if you have more reference (e.g. 23-30). Interestingly these formattings are not applied to the endnotes themselves. Therefore the vanishing of the endnotes by hiding their reference number seems to be a bug. (Besides the possibility to add a hidden button to the toolbar would be nice.) So at the moment I have to stick to MS-Word. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Endnotes-are-hidden-together-with-reference-numbers-tp3757232p3757232.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] buying a font to use with libreoffice: OTF, TTF or PS?
DO NOT BUY anything. It is not your font, but LO. This issue is being worked on. The problem is that EXPORT to PDF does not use your font, but one it chooses. Right now, if LO does not have your font in its list of PDF fonts, it substitute their font for yours. On Windows systems, I use doPDF - a free program - that is a PDF printer. It will create a PDF file instead a paper print. For Linux systems I use CUPS-PDF. For Windows, it does not matter if it is OTF or TTF. So for now, download doPDF [Windows] and print your needed documents that way. I use some really specialized fonts with some of my documentation. doPDF renders them properly. I have been using it for my Windows computers for at least 4 or 5 years now. It has never failed me yet, in rendering the fonts correctly. So do not buy a new version of your font, use a PDF printer, not exporter. That way, even browser pages or emails get to be saved as a PDF file. I use a PDF printer as my default printer, and use it most often to print web page I want to save for printing on paper later [without printing the unwanted physical pages]. One day, the issue with LO will be fixed [which is a big coding job], but for now use a free PDF printer. http://www.dopdf.com/ On 02/16/2012 10:25 AM, Vincent Van Houtte wrote: Hello, I'm hit by this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42427 Short: The OTF-font that I will be using in our new 'office identity' is not printed correctly using the default 'output to PDF'.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Installing LibreOffice - problem
I am sorry, but this list will not support attachments. Which version of LO are you installing? 3.4.5 or 3.5.0? I know that 3.4.5 will sometimes not install on the first try with older XP systems. I end up doing a second install that kicks in a repair option. Then it usually installs properly for me. Also you must have a Java Runtime Engine install on your system before you install LO. Actually, I had to do that with an old DELL desktop last week. It had a Celeron CPU and it was from 2005 or 2006. The guy had not used an anti-virus since Summer of 2009 and it was filled with dust bunnies soaked with smoking residue that made my fingers stink cleaning it.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Footnotes and Endnotes are hidden together with reference numbers!!!
Since I am working in natural science, I am using the Vancouver system.

I still can't think of a single reason why anyone would want to insert multiple footnotes (multiple commentaries) at one place. Why don't just join them, if they refer to exactly the same part of text? Although I still agree with you, that Writer is lacking some functionality in that area and it could (and perhaps should!) be improved. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Two data series with different categories in one chart
Dear mailinglistreaders, How can I put two series of data(all happening in the same period of time but on different times and dates) in one chart with the lines between the dots not being interupted. I have a list of dates+times in column A. In column B I have values of those dates+times. In column C I have another list of dates+times and in column D the values that belong to the dates+times in column C. How can I display those two series of data in one chart while there will still be lines between the dots of the first series and lines between the dots of the second series?
