Sorry, I can't help you out with 3.1.1; I had to remove the older versions (disk space issue) & cannot find that version on any of the mirrors (US English - linux), all I find is Windows versions. Given that 3.1.1 is quite out of date, why not install a 3.2.x version in parallel and see if that resolves your problem? I cannot replicate the issue on OOo 3.2.1. I can export to pdf w/Bitstream and can print to cups-pdf w/Bitstream... no substitution w/Times. > > According to the license information (viewed with Fontmatrix), these > fonts came with the Gnome desktop.

If it is a bug, then you should be able to find it in the Tracker issues... there are 236 currently filed related to bitstream. If not, file a bug. You are sucking lemons... You know that you are running an outdated version of OOo (August 2009) yet complain when you run into an issue regarding fonts. I don't know if 3.2.x will fix your issue (as I mentioned I can't find a 3.1.1 to install to test at the moment), but given the bandwidth regarding the issue you might take the time to at least install 3.2.1 in parallel (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel) and report back as to whether that resolves your issue. > > For those not aware, DejaVu is a FOSS remaking of the Bitstream Vera > family, adding additional glyphs and eliminating any question about > licensing. A lot of distros are now shipping with DejaVu instead of > Bitstream Vera. Evidently Gnome hasn't got there yet. Really? What has this to do with Gnome? Gnome has had DejaVu for quite a long time. Perhaps it is your distro that is the problem: $ apt-cache search dejavu ming-fonts-dejavu - Ming format DejaVue Fonts t1-thai-arundina - Thai DejaVu-compatible fonts in Type1 format ttf-thai-arundina - Thai DejaVu-compatible fonts in TrueType format ttf-dejavu - Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu-core and ttf-dejavu-extra ttf-dejavu-core - Vera font family derivate with additional characters ttf-dejavu-extra - Vera font family derivate with additional characters http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ttf-dejavu Ubuntu Dapper was released on 01 June 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
