[opensuse] How do I enable plain "times" font in Libre Office?
Hi, In the past I used the plain "times" font in Libre Office, because it is one of the 14 internal fonts in the PDF format: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF#Standard_Type_1_Fonts_(Standard_14_Fonts)> «Fourteen typefaces, known as the standard 14 fonts, have a special significance in PDF documents: Times (v3) (in regular, italic, bold, and bold italic) Courier (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique) Helvetica (v3) (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique) Symbol Zapf Dingbats These fonts are sometimes called the base fourteen fonts.[19] These fonts, or suitable substitute fonts with the same metrics, should be available in most PDF readers, but they are not guaranteed to be available in the reader, and may only display correctly if the system has them installed.[20] Fonts may be substituted if they are not embedded in a PDF.» The advantage is that texts created with these exact fonts do not need the PDF file to embed them, thus reducing the PDF file size. In the past, to get them I needed to enable "printer fonts" in LO. Now I do not see the setting (using LO in Leap 15.1 Beta). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

... http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog... «Now, however, adoption of the Harfbuzz font shaping engine is causing LibreOffice to drop support for Type 1 fonts. Harfbuzz does not support Type 1 fonts, and nobody has shown an interest in adding support for them. Suddenly, without any announcement that they are likely to have seen, users are opening the latest version of LibreOffice to find many of their fonts are no longer available, and their legacy documents no longer display properly. While the decision was made by LibreOfffice over four months ago, few average users are likely to follow the project closely enough to have received advanced warning. Nor did LibreOffice emphasize the change, or offer suggestions about how to react to it.» Dammit! :-/ «Yet another solution, which nobody mentions, would be to switch to OpenOffice.» I see in google how to convert purchased type 1 fonts, but that is not the case. It is an internal font in PDFs. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I tried to install this package, which contains some fonts that might work: +++------------- texlive-times - URW "Base 35" font pack for LaTeX A set of fonts for use as "drop-in" replacements for Adobe's basic set, comprising: Century Schoolbook (substituting for Adobe's New Century Schoolbook); Dingbats (substituting for Adobe's Zapf Dingbats); Nimbus Mono L (substituting for Abobe's Courier); Nimbus Roman No9 L (substituting for Adobe's Times); Nimbus Sans L (substituting for Adobe's Helvetica); Standard Symbols L (substituting for Adobe's Symbol); URW Bookman; URW Chancery L Medium Italic (substituting for Adobe's Zapf Chancery); URW Gothic L Book (substituting for Adobe's Avant Garde); and URW Palladio L (substituting for Adobe's Palatino). date: 2016-06-24 17:18:15 +0000 -------------++- But installing that package brings in what appears the entire texlive, maybe a thousand packages :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

BTDT. Many things seem to trigger copious quantities of texlive. Such occurrences produce in me a Pavlovian fit of locking out lots of texlive packages and retrying. The absence of the textlive packages don't seem to impeded the installation of other packages that I want.

I might download the package with wget and install some of the contents, to try. On my main system it is no problem, texlive is fully installed. Not here. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
