True. But the link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [Links to fonts] does offer links to alternates, as does: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ > > There will always be outlier typfaces that some graphic artist has made > or found.

However, in some (many?) cases it is necessary to use restricted/purchased fonts when working on projects with others. Unfortunately OOo doesn't allow embedding fonts in documents (with perhaps the exception of PDF/A-1a) - see: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=20370 I've certainly no objection to using fonts that I've purchased, have licenses for, and use in accordance with the license(s). Many are required for some of the work that I do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
