UI font substitution in newer versions of LibreOffice

Posted 04-18-2013 at 01:29 PM by Yury_T
Updated 12-27-2014 at 02:44 AM by Yury_T

May be old news, but in the recent versions of LibreOffice the old recipe of changing the UI font by setting a substitution for the 'Andale Sans UI' face stopped working.
These days, for the 'generic' locales (for which there's no specially pre-formed list of fonts) you have to set a substitution face for the 'Segoe UI' instead.

December 2014 update: In 4.3.* series the menubar will still use the GTK default font, though (menus themselves will show in substituted face).

I wish I had all the Google articles to support this post but I did not make notes sorry but here is a summary as I see it. It appears that Intel "outsourced" the drivers for the Cedar Trail chipset and they are only...

Posted 04-18-2013 at 12:07 AM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 04-18-2013 at 09:44 PM by the dsc

I'm not suggesting it's really preferable in any situation or in any specific situation, I just found myself in a "what the hell" point and thought it worth a try, and it worked.

I was just thinking that it would be nice that for slideshow videos there was a variable frame rate, and turns out that it exist. I've found that the program handbrake can handle that easily, so I decided to install. Unfortunatelly it's only on Debians unnofficial multimedia repository, which can...

Protection Act) finally emerged from committee in the House, and goes
next to the whole House for consideration. Bill summary:

While difficult to oppose in every aspect, it seems dubious to me in its
