not that I know of, but you could write one yourself if you know python. > second, is there an app that can be used to edit the font and correct > the bugginess? fontforge. However, it depends on the license of the font if you are allowed to modify it, or not. fontforge is scriptable. you can write a python script to check all your fonts. However, depending on the level of checking, you will get a lot of bug reports, even if those don't cause the failure. Fontforge is very strict in that regard. ;) Please note, that we do not ship y2k or the other buggy fonts which have been mentioned here. -- OpenOffice.org default font replaced - unable to change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
