Hi all - after happily using Ubuntu at home for a couple of years,
I've decided to make the transition to use it on my work machines as
well. I do need XP around in some form so that I can collaborate
seamlessly with people using Office 2007, and I'd prefer to run
Office
in Virtualbox rather than keeping a separate Windows partition that
I'd have to boot into every time I need to run Office. One problem,
though, is that Powerpoint documents look slightly different when I
open them in Virtualbox than they do when I open them in "normal"
Windows or even on a Mac. Specifically, the fonts seem to be of an
ever-so-slightly different size so that documents with complicated
formatting (e.g., multiple text boxes), end up with text from one
section overlapping text from another section. This happens even when
all fonts are embedded in the Powerpoint file, and again, only
happens
under Virtualbox (the files look identical on various other Windows
and Mac machines with different configurations).
I don't know anything about VirtualBox or Office, but this sounds
like a DPI
issue. It may be something you can fix by tweaking the configured
monitor or
related settings.
Thanks,
Forest
