Replaced LO-5.3.0 with LO-5.1.4.2 and it's seeing all the installed typefaces and fonts. Whew! As time allows over the next couple of days I'll incrementally upgrade versions until I find the newest that works with Slackware-14.1/32-bit.

The replacement table is where you put mappings for replacing a document's font that does not exist on you system, for example replace Arial with DejaVu Sans. By default the replacement table is empty. The available system fonts to use in documents are listed in the font tool bar drop down or under Format -> Character (for writer).

Re: [PLUG] acroread for 64-bit machines?
You must have some environment dependency difference - I use this on various versions of SuSE, SLE, Fedora, Ubuntu all with KDE, LXDE or Gnome - do not see any frame at full screen mode. Just tried it on Ubuntu + Unity and YES, as you mentioned, Evince needs F5 to hide the frame.

[PLUG] LibreOffice upgrade loses typefaces
This morning I upgraded libreoffice from 5.1.x to 5.3.0 and now most of the typefaces (fonts) I have installed are not available. Instead it looks like every south and east Asian language fills the list. Tools->Options->LibreOffice->Fonts displays nothing. Can someone point me to a solution?

On my wide monitor, xpdf centers the slide and puts black bars on either side. galen -- Galen Seitz gal...@seitzassoc.com ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

This is really good to know. Yet, now I know that xpdf's fullscreen mode also does the job, that's what I'll use.

Joe, I must have had the 32-bit compatibility libraries installed with 14.1. I've tried xpdf, mupdf, okular, and evince and they all display the window frame and any side windows as well as the slides themselves. Off to AlienBOB's web site to download and install the latest compat libs. Thanks, Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

[PLUG] acroread for 64-bit machines?
My use of Adobe's acrobat reader is infrequent, but good for presentations showing beamer-class slides. There was no problem that I recall using it with 14.1, but I'm having issues trying to get a version that works with 14.2. I have a presentation tomorrow and neither xpdf nor mupdf will display the LaTeX/beamer slides full screen. The windows are full screen, but not the PDF file. Do I need the Slackware 32-bit compatibility libraries to run acroread? What are other folks using? Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
