Hi Shaun,
A font pack is a set of files that are inside a .zip file.
OK, where do I get them? Or are they only on the web, in which case,
how do I go about installing my .dfont or .ttf/.otf fonts?
Here is the solution for converting the fonts automatically on the
next start of OpenOffice.org.
1. Quit OpenOffice.org
2.1 Navigate to the folder:
<user home directory>/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org
2.1/user/fonts/
Erm... there is no such dir here. Could it be because I have OOo 2.0?
2.2 Delete the following file:
user_fondu_done
3.1 Locate the OpenOffice.org installation.
3.2 Right (or control) + click the OpenOffice.org 2.1.app icon.
3.3 Choose "show package contents"
3.4 Navigate through the directories:
Contents/MacOS/share/fonts/truetype
Only content of /Applications/OpenOffice 2.0/Contents/MacOS/ is a
16KB Unix exec called 'droplet'.
3.5 delete the file:
system_fondu_done
4. Start OpenOffice.org by double clicking the .app icon
5. You will be asked 2 questions about fonts conversion. Answer yes
to both.
6. The fonts should now be available in OpenOffice.org.
I did a search for 'fondu' on my hard drive and I found a long-time-
ago-downloaded pdf called "Howto_OOo_2.0_MacOSX_english.pdf" by Eric
Bachard. In it, I read that Fondu is only included in the development
version (page 7/17).
I also read on page 10/17 that "If fondu is found, a hidden
file .fondudone is created and placed in /<install_dir>/
OpenOffice.org 2.app/Contents/openofficeorg2.0/share/fonts/
truetype". The file is not there in my install (I checked using
Terminal).
Tips? I am getting the 2.1 install file tomorrow from work (I haven't
got dsl at the minute at home...) I guess that will solve things, but
still I would like to understand what is going wrong with 2.0.
