Really? I suppose you've not looked at your rpm or deb installation files lately :-) openoffice.org-core01_2.3.0-5_i386.deb contains vera bitstream fonts. as does: openoffice.org-core01-2.3.0-9221.i586.rpm I don't have a copy of 2.1 handy, but I think that 2.1 did include additional ttf fonts - along the lines of arial, gara, shef etc. Barbara, you might try looking around the mirror sites: http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors to see if you can find an older version. If you already have/had 2.1 installed, you might check in the directory (linux is .openoffice.org2/user/fonts and /opt/openoffice.org2.3/share/fonts/truetype - I don't have windows loaded just now so can't tell you that directory), can can indeed just copy from one to the other. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
