A simple presentation using a custom animation (effect "falling in") often ends up with invisible text when running 2.4 under ubuntu (hardy), while it always seems to work ok under XP (also OOo 2.4). The exact behaviour depends critically on the font selected.
For example, the following trivial slideshow document uses dingbats as font and on ubuntu the first and last of its 3 lines disappear as the show runs leaving only the middle line. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mikeascott//private/junk.odp (Although the available dingbat characters seem to differ on my XP, nevertheless, 3 lines of text appear and remain) If I change to a font called ameruncn (nice, but I've no idea where it came from!) it's the middle line only that vanishes. Other fonts shows differing effects, like only part of the character dropping in, or characters disappearing in twos or threes as they take position. Sometimes there's an unpleasant effect when the line completes and the characters seem to shuffle sideways slightly. Some fonts do behave as expected. All a bit weird, and making impress unusable for me under ubuntu at present: can anyone shed light please? -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
