------- Additional comments from dogz...@openoffice.org Sat Dec 5 07:37:57 +0000 2009 ------- I own all the 2000+ fonts on my system and for $10 you can buy CD's with 20 or 50,000 fonts on them.... and there are thousands to download free from the net. So I have read BUG 20370, and some interesting points have been put forward, recompatability with MS Word when converting OO documents into THAT format, and then losing all the neato font and artwork, because the font doesn't embed. My problem is quite similar. I own all my own fonts, by extracting them from every bit of software I have ever owned, and free downloads from the net etc..... AND when I do some neato grapics in OO DRAW (or WRITE) on my Windoze computer - with the huge hard drives, fast CPU and stacks of RAM and all the fonts installed: I use a special font for a trade mark, with very carefully set letter sizing and spacing and location in the document. AND THEN: When I transfer that same document onto to my LINUX computer, with the tiny hard drive and rather ancient CPU; I find that the FONTS that I used in THAT document on THAT computer, are NOT in the document when I move it to another computer. So I am thinking - do I go spend "quite some time" trying to install the 2000+ fonts onto the rather ancient laptop, and then trying to find the correct font to reload into the document; and to then have to reconfigure all of the special layout settings for the fonts? OR do I come here and raise the issue of what a really really bad thing it is to have an office suite that does not embed the fonts into the documents by default? I mean this IS really really BAD; because in as much as a car up on bricks with the wheels removed is no longer a car; So is an office suit that does not retain the contents and settings in the works created with it. The fonts and layouts used to create the works or documents, ARE the works and documents. This failure to be able to save a document as is, with all of it's fonts, layouts and properties, it's not a failure, it's a disaster. I also dislike finding out AFTER the event, that when I SAVE any and all of my works and documents created using the Open Office program; that it is NOT actually saving the document or works, it's only saving the document or work, relative to the resources stored on the computer that it was created on. So when I change computers, all that hard work gets left behind on the computer it was created on; an what the Open Office creators have left me with is essentially worthless. This has to be fixed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
