Hi-- Tom, I'm not sure that your response is to me. "That should work" doesn't compute & I've already given the details you ask for. But here goes again.
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04, LO 4.0.3.3. When I open an rtf file that I use frequently all I get is the headings. The text body lines have disappeared. If I do Control-A and change to Arial, I get the text body lines. So it's a question of fonts. First question: Previously, it seems to me, when a font was missing LO substituted another. This is the first time I've seen just blanks. Am I not remembering correctly or has something changed in LO? The fonts I want to use -- Trebuchet and Candara -- show up in the list of fonts in LO, but whenever I change to one of them I get a blank line, no insert cursor. I have followed my customary procedure for installing fonts-- I copy the fonts into home/.fonts. >Then I update the cache with -- >sudo fc-cache -f -v >Then I restart.In the past that has always worked. And it does this time for >most of the fonts in .fonts, but not for all, not for Candara, Calibri, >Constantia, Anastasia and Trebuchet. I tried AbiWord to see if I get the same problem there. Yes, I do. But when I go through the font list some fonts make text in Abi and not in LO, and vice versa. Leafpad recognizes only the fonts installed by Ubuntu, none of the ones I have installed via .fonts. Weird.
