User dogzdik changed the following: What |Old value |New value ================================================================================ Keywords|oooqa |C1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Additional comments from dogz...@openoffice.org Mon Dec 21 06:33:29 +0000 2009 ------- I don't hate you Rainer, but as it stands, Open Office without FONT embedding as a default setting (or a decent hack) for the fonts used in that document / work / creation etc., It's just like getting a car - from a car yard, up on bricks with no wheels and no engine; sure you can buy it, sure you can ride around in it all day - as long as you make the "Broooom Broooom" noises and never leave the car lot. I mean the font sets in it are great - love them; and Open Office - as long as you only use the fonts that came with it - it's fantastic; but I happen to do a huge variety or work with a large-ish range of fonts - that come from a huge range of software; I still have my OLD Word Perfect documents I made from 15 years ago..... To me it seems as if the embedding of fonts is an end user issue; because everything in OO is I assume are "free" fonts; everything almost everyone else has is what they have paid for, with their software and their systems; or they are free from the net / on computer magazine CD's or purchased from a supplier; And to me it seems that IF company A has an issue with person B embedding their own fonts that they paid to use, in company A's software or in using the same fonts to create the same document in the OO software - I mean like what is the difference? They have paid to use that FONT to create the documents that they choose to create, with the software that they choose to create; To me it is an end user issue; it's not the place of people in OO to dictate these terms to the end users. And along with all the freeware / purchased fonts etc., it's certainly not the place of the people in OO to dictate that they cannot embed the fonts that they have obtained / purchased - to place a restriction on the end user. I tend to view that as a constraint of trade. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
