I'm using Openoffice.,org 1.1.3 on two different linux machiens: a desktop
and a laptop.
The two machines run as much as possible the same versions of everything
(Kernel, applications, xorg and, obviously, openoffice.org).
When I move a document written with openoffice writer from the desktop
to the laptop (and vice-versa) I found slight differences: lines are
slightly shorter, or longer and words are wrapped in different places, as
if characters and words come out slightly different on the two machines.
This is very consistent: it always happens and is very noticeable, mostly
with short lines (e.g.: in pieces of text wrapped around a figure).
The only difference in the two machines I can think of is the size of the
display: the laptop is 1024x768 pixels, the desktop has a 1280x1024
screen.
It looks like character rendering (actually character size) is different
on different screens.
Does anybody see anythinbg similar?
And does anybody knows a way to prevent this problem?
Many thanks,
You mention fonts in the Subject and this is definitely a possibility.
Use File >AutoPilot/Wizard > Install fonts from the web to ensure both have the same
fonts. Next check Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Fonts for font
replacements on both. Lastly use spadmin to see if both machines have
font replacement enabled and are the same for the default printer.
As to screen resolution, this might give some appearance differences.
Try adjusting the Zoom factor on the machine with the larger resolution
to mimic what is on the other box.
