It's good to know that the ability to apply a font to all cells of a table is finally possible. As for the Bitstream Vera fonts not being embedded in a PDF and not printing, that is almost surely a bug in 3.1.1. The font license does not prohibit embedding or printing, plus the fonts came with Gnome, so surely they are openly embeddable. All the rest of my apps can embed them in PDFs and print them to my printers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
