I have a document, generated by someone else in MS Word, that uses the Times New Roman font. Star Office can print it correctly, but the screen display is of poor quality and doesn't display double quotes at all. I also notice that TNR is not on Star Office's list of fonts. I do have TrueType fonts working in my system, including all the ones that normally come with Win98.
You probably didn't make the fonts *known* to SO. Sadly, this is only half of it, or less. SO will only display fonts it's able to print. You probably can display them in "Online or Web view". Procedure is: - make TTF's known to ghostscript (easy) - tell SO about that (a bit complicated) - tell SO's default print driver it got a super printer. (This is no lie, since GS *is* the supert printer with a gazillion of fonts)
Are you saying that I somehow have to tell SO to print via ghostscript? I think I've already achieved Step 1, but I don't know how to do Step 2.
From the feedback on it about SO (that I didn't get), I guess I
If you still like to do that, I'll post my description personally to you. It was a very confusing german article I worked on and translated. translated the confusion as well. ;-)
It might be worthwhile posting it publicly, for the benefit of all the other folks using SO.
How can I clean up the screen display? Why is it that the font prints properly but doesn't display properly?
Ah, btw. I remember TimesNewRoman to crash SO. Some fonts (oddly) do not display correctly. With the move to 6.4 I might have tried an elder version, there are some things that I cannot explain. Some fonts crash, but as I tried these fail to produce the font metric files in a prior stage as well....
On my system, SO doesn't crash from TNR -- it just displays ugliness. Paul Abrahams -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
