Hello Ian, Just one question: the native MySQL-Connector should be included in 3.6.2. I had a lot of trouble in the past with it, but now it seems to be the best choice of all the possible connectors (Native, ODBC, JDBC). In any case, reading through your steps - I think that - the database name

Hi Ian, To be honest - I am somewhat confused regarding the issue of where is the native connector! It might be that going to extensions and then download/installing the native connector (for OpenOffice) does the trick. On the other hand, I think that it should come automatically with the newest

Interesting problem. Based on my tests, which I detail below, it appears to be LibO bug rather than a font problem. I'm using LibO 3.5.6.2 with Win7 and Adobe Reader. In the sentence This is the official version with Linux Libertine G, there are two instances of automatic ligatures--the Th

I tested it with 3.5.7 for 64-bit Ubuntu [.deb] and I do not see the issue at all. I use the default PDF viewer as well. I wonder if it was fixed between 3.5.6 and 3.5.7? OR - Could it look different in a different viewer that the official Adobe Reader? I do have both the Linux Libertine

Why would 3.6.2.2 [for 64-bit Ubuntu] give you the problem when 3.5.7.2 [for 64-bit Ubuntu] does not give the same issue to me. That is a real head-scratching problem for me. I downloaded my versions of the fonts in June of 2011. If you want, I can upload the Linux Libertine fonts files I

Weird. My Windows version of Linux Libertine G is version 5.1.3. I'm not yet deft enough with Ubuntu to even know where fonts are stored on the system, but I think it's the same version. Either way, I don't think it would explain why LibO and AOO are producing different results with the same

Thanks, Tom. Yes, Slackware is not the easiest Linux distribution to install and/or use. But it is ok with me... I don't have to use Linux to get (real) work done, so I can spend as much time as I want learning and tinkering with this OS without being worried about productivity. :-)
