I have just made a bug report to OpenOffice on this. I found that OO2.0.2 does not let me use spadmin to add fonts --ttf or otf.
Somebody has made another report that OOm162 which is the test build just after 2.0.2 was crashing on Gentoo from spadmin. |
So, OO on Linux currently does not support TTF or OTF?
Peace... |
http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html#5
explains how OOo accesses fonts. the link to the setup guide should go over how to add fonts to OOo... (hmm...thought xset fp+ added dirs to that conf. seems things have changed since i last used it) [ahh. the guide is for OOo version 1.x] |

I see that I now have freetype 2.1.10 from the linuxpackages install about 6 months ago and now 2.1.9 is in the X11 directory. Has one of the several X11 updates sin the last few months overwritten it?
|
I know XFree86 comes with a version of FreeType that's not the latest (same with fontconfig and Mesa). So, whenever I upgrade XFree86, I also re-install the latest FreeType, FontConfig, and Mesa libraries also.
Maybe X.org is in a similar boat. Peace... |

I dropped back to a 2.1.9 version with smoothing.
OO display and KOfficeprinting still not right so I tried using fontforge to convert to ttf and both wps work. I tried a year ago and at that time OO did not like the converted ttf so something is now better. |
