Th problem is that if the font is OTF with PostScript outlines (e.g., every OTF font sold by Adobe, and many from other foundries as well), the font does not even appear in the font list in OO.o under Linux. If you like Gentium, that's fine. But what if you have bought and paid for the Warnock Pro suite of OTF fonts? Or other OTF fonts? I can use them in KOffice. I can use them in Scribus. All my other Linux applications see and use them just fine. But OO.o does not even know they are installed. I believe this has been listed somewhere as a bug, but it was a long time ago (if I recall correctly), and the problem remains unresolved. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
