And those would be exactly which fonts? I've installed roughly 5,000 fonts. I continually run into material which requires a font that I have not installed. > The best solution if you want to share a document looking exactly as > written is to export it as PDF which embeds the fonts into the document. The other downside to that solution, is that font creators are increasingly prohibiting their font from being embedded, or changing a premium for the license to embed the font. [One font creator's licensing terms are such, that it is cheaper for a person to buy "x" copies of the font, and give them away, than pay the licencing fee to distribute "x"copies of their work using that font.] > Free fonts have a catch in that very often only the bare necessities are > included. That describes the vast majority of fonts --- both gratis and non-gratis fonts. It is somewhat pathetic that for good fonts your options are to either craft them yourself, or pay roughly US$500 per glyph. [ "Good" here refers to aesthetically pleasing, conforms to all of the Unicode technical specifications of the glyph, and also conforms to all the technical specifications of the font description language that is used.] xan jonathon -- OOo can not correct for incompetence in creating documents from MSO. Furthermore,OOo can not compensate for the defective and flawed security measures used by Microsoft. As such, before using this product for exams that require faulty and defective software, ensure that you will not be unjustly penalized for the incompetence of the organization that requires the use of software that is known to be flawed, defective, bug-ridden, and fails to meet ISO file format standards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
