From you posting, you use Mac, correct? I am not using Mac, but there has to be some font viewer available for Mac. What are you looking to do with it? I know that LO has a font charting display for "insert special character" that look good. If you want to print a character chart for a selected font, well most font managers I have seen does that to some degree. As for the KDE option - KFontView I also use Fontmatrix on Ubuntu. I use a paid software on Windows to get what I want though - MainType. -- To unsubscribe 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
