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

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
