It gets even more interesting; I was experimenting with some old Adobe FrameMaker .pfb files & used FontForge to convert a .pdb to the respective .pfa & .afm files. Placed those in ~/.fonts and LO 3.3.3 and OOo 3.2.1 pick up the font just fine. However, LO 3.4.2 rc2 (pre-release) and OOo-Dev 3.4.0 do not. I'll file a bug on those if I get time in the next few days. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] 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
