​Mike, I use the LO PPA to install all the upgrades to my 64-bit Linux Mint
box (currently 17.1)​
​, which means that they are installed automatically via the Update Manager
- i e, I don't have to look for them in Synaptic or use «apt-get» in a
terminal to install them. Very convenient, but as I recently mentioned on
another thread, Base seems to be missing from the latest version (4.4.0.3)
installed on this computer - in any event, when I click the Base icon in
LibreOffice nothing at all happens, and when I enter «soffice --base» in a
terminal, LibreOffice opens not to Base, but to Writer !...

I'm not a frequent user of Base, but I can't recall encountering this
problem with previous versions of LO on Mint. I note that all LO services,
including Base, work just fine on my Windows 64-bit 8.1 box. Any
suggestions as to what may be wrong and how to fix it would be greatly
appreciated !...

Henri

[libreoffice-users] Question about font replacement/substitution in Writer 4.3.3

[Tom Williams]

Hi!  I'm running LibreOffice Writer 4.3.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.10 Linux
(64-bit).   I'm helping someone convert a MS Word document info a PDF
form.  I'm creating the form as a native ODT document, which I will save
as a PDF form.

The original MS Word document uses the Calibri font everywhere.  I don't
have Calibri installed, yet the text is displayed anyway. 

My question:  how I can find out which font is being used as a
substitute for Calibri?

I know about the Font Replacement Table, where I can specify which fonts
to use as replacements or substitutes.  However, I'm looking for a way
to find out which font Writer chose as the replacement font.  Is there a
way to find this out?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!

Peace...

Tom

Re: Re: [libreoffice-users] installation problem LO4.4 - linux mint

[sqroot]

thank you. i returned to the default LO-version for linux mint, because even 
from terminal i couldn´ t launch LO4.4 anymore. it would be interesting to 
analyze the situation and fix it but i don´t have the time for that. :/

cheers, markus

SO, I have seen this issue before.

If you can go into the DEB folder and rerun the Applications Menu setup 
file, then it should fix the issues with the icons. To me it appears 
that the menu icons are pointing to the old version.

I tend to delete the desktop icons for LO and replace then with the ones 
in the Applications/Office menu. I do this with every upgrade from say 
4.3.x to 4.4.x [like 4.2.x to 4.3.x].

​In LO 4.4.0.3 ​

​on my (64-bit) Linux Mint 17.1 machine, I can open Writer, Calc, Impress,
Draw, and Math with no problem, but klicking on Base does nothing at all ;
the service simply doesn't launch. On my (64-bit) Windows 8.1 machine,
however, Base launches just as it should. How can I get it to do so on my
Linux box, which is the one I generally use ?...

[libreoffice-users] Where is Base?

[Heinrich Stöllinger]

Hello,
Base DOES come with the main installer - at least in my two cases: 
Linux-Mint
and Windows-7. My version 4.3.6 gets started with "libreoffice4.3 --base 
%U"

under Linux.
Regards
H. Stoellinger

[libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?

[pranzar]

Hello, thanks for the help.

I have Java 8 installed and it's being detected in Tools-Options as you
indicated.

I tried launching it directly (not via the startup screen) and there doesn't
appear to be any executable for it - only scalc.exe and swriter.exe

It seems that Base, Impress, Draw and Math are not installed with the main
installer? Do I need to get them from somewhere else?
