Hi :) Many OOo Extensions just work in LO as is. A few might need 'porting' and others just need to make it clear that they work on LO too. I think the whole lot need to be moved to a safer server or mirrored or whatever. Allegedly the extensions were on an independent website but just how independent seems to be questionable. Perhaps ODFauthors might be a better (more independent) place than TDF or perhaps mirrored on both if possible.

Perhaps it was never ported to LO. On Sun, 2011-05-29 at 16:43 -0700, Dennis E. Hamilton wrote: > The Tools | Fonts option is not related to any documents that happen to be >open. It is generic.
