It is always helpful if you let people know what version of LO /and/ what Operating System you are using. On my system (linux Ubuntu 10.10), I have that font in: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/fkr/tipa For some reason LO isn't picking up all the fonts in /usr/share (discussed in a previous thread, but I can't recall the Subject just now) - even when the font is installed as a system font. In order to get the tipatt8 font to work in LO (versions 3.3.4 & 3.4.3) I had to copy /both/ the tippa8.afm and tippa8.pfb to ~/.fonts. The font now shows up when I scroll to select fonts starting with 'T'. Oddly enough, rather than 'TeX tippa8' being displayed in the dropdown selection, it is displayed as greek symbols'tippa8, so you need to look closely after putting the .afm and .pfb in ~/.fonts I can insert all of the characters in your example. Unfortunately the character between 'e' and 'I' spaces (U+02D8) (˘) as a single character so it is not shown as an accent to 'e' but as it's own character. Perhaps someone more familiar with using dead/compose keys etc., (Johnny Rosen?) can assist with that part. Hope that helps. -- For 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
