Perhaps it is your distro that is the problem: I only state that by way of pointing out that if Bitstream Vera is good enough and open enough for Gnome, it ought to work. The problem is not in my distro. The problem is a bug in OOo 3.1.1. And it is the version from OOo, not from the Fedora repos. I know it is not a Fedora problem because all my other apps embed and print the Vera family just fine. As for upgrading OOo, yes, I will do that soon. (Too busy at the moment, and I have a workaround for the current problem.) I don't need to install 3.2 in parallel; I'll just upgrade the 3.1.1 to 3.2. Since from posts by others 3.2 fixes the problem, there is no need to file a bug report on 3.1.1. NoOp, I love you just all over the place. But this thread is resolved and dead. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
