Yes - I liked it; handy for a coffee morning 'drop in' :-) Thanks for looking, anyway. It does seem to depend critically on the exact font -- I get various effects, and with some it does work correctly. Perhaps fortunately, other literature for this event now uses a simple serif font, so maybe I'll get away with it when I change. But the issue would be still there and probably resurface. I wonder if it could be a problem with not-quite-kosher ttf files being rendered somehow wrongly (OOo built-in or some system graphics service??) -- 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]
