------- Additional comments from billmer...@openoffice.org Sun Nov 21 03:31:54 +0000 2010 ------- Some details. Instead of Find Duplicates I used Resolve Duplicates under the edit menu. But this turned out to not be worth the time. This selected only one version of each font. However I found that the selections were not very rational. For example, I would have three copies of a font with different copyright dates. It would select only one of each variant - normal, bold, italic, Bold italic. but sometimes it would select different copyright dates or unique name. Like regular from 2007 and italic from 2001. So I went through each font family, selected any font older than 2005 (apparently os X had dragged fonts along from my mac purchased in 99) and deleted them. You have to look through the dates in the different fields by selecting Preview/show font info as sometimes the unique name date is older than the copyright date. For example a font family with a 99 version a 2001 version and a 2007 version of Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. Select any one of the older ones, for example 99 regular, and press delete, then ok. All four subfonts from 99 are deleted. I cleaned out half my fonts this way. Remember to also check User in the Collection Column. I think what helped the most was deleting an ancient symbol font that was in my User collection which made the one under Computer the only Symbol font. This remaining symbol font is copyright 1990-99 Apple, but the unique name is "Symbol;6.1d7e3; 2008-05-12. So it appears to be a TT font from 2008. After deleting everything older than 2005 I did not have any duplicates to resolve. I deleted a lot of old fonts I had never used anyway and do not expect to miss them. I followed the instructions on how to setup the fonts for bullets on the link I gave above. I then opened a document that had given me problems and it looked fine in word and openoffice. Bullets were actually bullets! Clean out all those old fonts using the show information option and make sure you have a modern symbol font. That seems to be what worked for me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
