Hey all, Since Robert's original thoughts were about fonts, can we get back to
those for a minute? After installing OO 1.0 with SuSE 8.0, I found it to work very well overall and the fonts were very nice that were included with the download. Since then, I have added some truetype fonts and seem to work very well with the program. I also added some other Type 1 fonts, so that all the KDE programs could use them and OO 1.0 did not like those at all.
Most of the fonts will not even display on screen nor print. Whenever I use one of the Type 1 fonts, I just get a big blank page from a one line of text. The fonts work well in all my other programs, wordprocessors, etc, so that leads me to believe all the fonts are installed correctly. Open Office seems to be the only program that doesn't like the Type 1 fonts. Even StarOffice 5.2 can use them ok.
I have installed a load of Type 1 fonts and OO 1.00 has no problems in displaying or printing them at any size. I'm using 7.3, but this shouldn't make any difference, should it? Terence
