List and example of fonts available in oOo
I'm getting ready to undertake a new writing project. In order to accomplish what I want, I'd like to use a number of different fonts for different purposes. I'm familiar with a few of the more common ones - Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, etc. but I'd like to experiment. Is there a web page some where where I can simply view a list of the default available fonts in oOo and see examples of each? A "Help" search on "Fonts" was no help and Googling "fonts" and "OpenOffice.org" gets me tons of responses but not the simple list that I'm looking for. TIA. Kelly -- Kelly J.

Go into KDE control center-->System Administration-->Font Installer and use Administrator Mode. Then simply click on any fon installed and you will have a sample in the preview pane. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

To see fonts you don't have installed, goto: http://www.codestyle.org/ and http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/fonts-by~size.html -- "Love does not demand its own way." 1 Corinthians 13:5 Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 Felix Miata *** http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/

Saddly we are limited to that. When I need sample sheets I must use windows freeware to produce them. That should be next on the list. I have a modest collection of about 300 ttf plus what comes with Suse so a sample sheet would be nice. ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

I suggest you have a look at the following URL there is a macro there that will generate a list of fonts for printing. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=14900 -- Regards, Graham Smith

A good primitave. I have an idea for an extention but I need a test for proportional or non-proportional font so I can adjust the sample sheet properly. Ill write the author and see what advice I can get. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

OO.org can use any Truetype or Type1 font you have installed on your system. I don't think there is such a thing as a default font pack for OpenOffice. -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia http://www.noemasol.com
