P.P.S.: And of course, even when both the sender and the recipient have the same font installed on their system, there still is no iron-clad guarantee that both will see the exact same thing on their computer screen, due to the variety of display schemes (ClearType sub-pixel rendering etc.) in circ

A postscript: "Free" does not necessarily mean lower quality. Some beautiful free fonts that I have on my system include - Yanone Kaffeesatz - Lavoisier - Ubuntu - and of course the terrific Linux Libertine G and Linux Biolinum G There are free fonts for all sorts of special needs, for example th

Re: RE : [tdf-discuss] Re: Feature request - embed font

I had understood Mirek's proposal to mean that there would be one "official" online font repository, or perhaps several. Embedding a non-embeddable font in a document file is simply not possible, according to what I've read so far. Installing an installable font embedded in a file as a system fon

Re: RE : [tdf-discuss] Re: Feature request - embed font

One other problem with embedding the font in the file (which I didn't see anyone bring up, and if they did, I apologize) is it would increase the file size for the document. That isn't much of a concern with a single document, but if you have a couple thousand documents, each with the same font(s)

Re: RE : [tdf-discuss] Re: Feature request - embed font

O.K., so is everyone now in agreement that there is no legal problem embedding a font that explicitly licenses itself to be embedded? I am new here and am a bit mystified at the way discussion seems to move, with inapposite answers to comments and then the point gets lost along the way. This htt

Re: RE : [tdf-discuss] Re: Feature request - embed font

Hi everyone, I believe this would be better solved with LibreOffice integration with online font repositories, like openfontlibrary.org, theleagueofmoveabletype.com or Google Web Fonts. If I received a document with a font I don't have installed, LibO should look it

Charles meant that embedded fonts is not really a problem for the software but must be first adressed by the OpenDocument format which is not under the control of LibreOffice.

Thank you for your reply but I do not understand. The OP was making a feature request for font embedding to be added to LibreOffice. I commented on the licensing aspect. Now you note something about a "suite" -- do you mean "suite" as in "office suite"? Microsoft's Office suite has this ability.

Re: RE : [tdf-discuss] Re: Feature request - embed font

I suppose what I was thinking would be usefull was to have a directory within the odt file called fonts. LO would check here first for fonts called in the document. I could copy my custom TT or type 1 fonts here thereby making my document portable. This seems relatively simple. More work is invo
