From another member of this mailing list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ obviously Apple released a X11 update with corrupt "Vera" Fonts. It is reported, that the FontBook application recognize the font as "...Dont use this fonts" But there is a discussion of a workaround: Bug is reported on OO.org: 71096 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71096 and the workaround is discussed on the trinity.neooffice.org - list http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php? name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3414 The suggested workaround: Open the terminal application and type: sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.bad <return> enter your password <return> sudo mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ fonts/TTF.bad <return> the code will create a new folder "TTF.bad" and will copy all "Vera" fonts to this folder. This must be done with administrator "root" rights (sudo) Hope this helps. thanks to Pavel and Patrick Christopher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
