I can't send an OpenOffice document to my colleagues and have them open it without "changes".
Is there a way to export the Linux fonts to MS-Windows?
~ this is probably easy : copy your M$ true-type fonts over to a directory such as : /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ ......................... I owe thanks to some kind list-member whose name I have sadly lostm who told me : ____________ Try running SuSEconfig and see if that fixes it, otherwise this worked in an older version of SuSE. To reinitialise all your truetypes please follow these steps. 1) Change to where the fonts are. cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype 2) Determine if there are any files been created for the scaling of the ttf's. ls -l fonts.s* 3) Remove all these files. rm fonts.s* 4) Create a new font scale file. ttmkfdir | sed s/^[0-9]*// > fonts.scale.myfonts 5) Now run SuSEconfig.fonts /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts 6) Run xset to reread the font paths xset fp rehash You should be able to see the fonts with xfontsel ................................ Finally, you only need to tell OpenOffice to use the font of your choice as default font. -- best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
