Greetings and my sincerest apologies for not being better versed in Open
Office and the OO Lingo...
I am currently using OO v 1..9.104 on a Win2K os.
I downloaded some TT fonts and installed them in the Windows Font file,
they do display in Outlook Express and paint (the only ms apps that have
ability to change font) ex... Test Font 1, Test font 2 , test font 3
I read a few of the articles that were available for "font" issues on
your website, but alas, they are greek to me and the only one that was
somewhat comprehendable to me was written in 2002...
I originally installed OO v1.4, but my husband convinced me that the 1.9
is more user friendly, (since i installed this software on a clients
computer and their only experience has been w/MS office suites). I do
not recall uninstalling the 1.4, but it does not appear in my add/remove
programs, only in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org1.1.4; perhaps it
removed it during the installation of the 1.9?
anyway, I noticed that in the articles i read, it mentioned there was
supposed to be a font folder in the share - i didn't have that font
foder in the 1.9.104 , but did in the 1.4, so i copied the font folder (
after i copied and pasted from the font folder i had
downloaded/extracted the fonts to) and pasted to the 1.9 folder... that
didn't help.
Now, i do notice that the font names "appear" in the Draw program if
you type tex, , then highlight and right click on it (this was before
and after copying the font file). however, they do not make the text
change. These font names do not appear in OpenOffice writer, but the
list shows up in the OO Calc application, and there is a printer image
next to it (see attached printerex.odt for a sample) and it does not
change the way the font appears.
I think i've answered all the questions you may need to respond to me,
so if not, please advise...
Thanks,
Ms. charlie nystel
You may want to check the application data folder. I do not know where
it is on Win2k, but in XP it would be "C:\Documents and Settings\User
Name\Application Data\OpenOffice.org 1.9.104" or something like that. In
there you may find a font folder. I don't know how fonts are installed
in general on Win2k, but if they are available in OE, they should be
available in all apps. Odd.
HTH,
