Hi all!
Introduction:
In our company we have a very heterogeneous infrastructure with
computers/laptops running OS X, Ubuntu and one computer running Windows.
We decided to use OpenOffice to work on our administrative documents.
Our administration is using a font called Frutiger LT (Type1) and one
called OCRB (TTF) to write and print our documents/credit slips. The
goal is to exchange the documents across all workstations without
changing styles.
The problem:
We use Frutiger LT with 6 typefaces. As Windows does not support more
than 4 typefaces we decided to install them as single fonts. On Windows
and OS X this task was pretty easy as Linotype (where we bought the
font) delivered the right installation files.
Nevertheless I never suceeded to install the fonts on all operating
system in a way that the document exchange is straightforward.
Especially on Linux (using spadmin) I was never able to get the same
font menu as I did on windows with every font typeface as single entry
in the font menu. Hacking the afm and pfb files (font family name) I was
able to get the fonts as seperated entries in the font menu but the
typefaces (light, italic) are not preserved (e.g. Font Family "Frutiger
Italic", typeface "Regular", should be italic but isn't).
Searching the newsgroups, mailing lists, etc. did not help. I could not
find any solution after working on this topic for one day now. I am
desperate...
Does anybody has a good idea or much better, a solution for this kind of
problem?
Thx in advance!
Cheers, Chris
