I have used OpenOffice since it began and StarOffice before that. I have
encountered something here on 2.0.1 which did not (does not) happen on 1.1.4. I
have checked the FAQ and Troubleshooting, but cannot resolve. My system with
trouble is running FC4 (2.6.14-1.1653_FC4) under Gnome, although I also use
OO.org under windows.
I installed 2.0.1 via Yum, which conveniently left my 1.1.4 installation intact.
However, the install does not recognize a prior installation, so it did not
migrate any data from the prior install. Once I realized that my fonts needed
to be installed, I proceeded, as root, to run spadmin and install the fonts
directly from the prior installation (~user/OpenOffice.org1.1.4/user/fonts/ --
note, my prior install just put the fonts under the one user) into a system-wide
config. The fonts all were numbered among the pre-installed ones, and I
verified that all files were copied to
/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/fonts/truetype/ (which is odd, since they are
type1 -- but I noticed that I installed 1.1.3 to have the fonts system-wide, it
put them under truetype, and it worked fine). I then exit without difficulties.
Then, I call ooffice {file.sdw} and expect to see the document in all its glory.
I see that every font is the exact same sans-serif helvetica-looking mess. On
some pages, even the spacing went to Zuffenhausen. I place the cursor on the
words, and the correct name appears in the font selector above. I pull down the
selector, and all my fonts are listed -- well displayed each one in the same
sans-serif font (instead of an example of the right glyphs the font calls for).
Under Format->Character, I can also see all the names, but clicking through
each does nothing to the text -- it all looks the same, Helvetica-like. The
little note at the bottom of the window give me probably all the assorted
messages: "The same font will be used" for one font, "The closest..." for
another.
I tried various things. I added the fonts to the fontpath via "xset fp+ ..."; I
verified the fonts can actually display correctly with "xfd -fn ..."; I added
the font directory via chkfontpath and verified it was added. I even added the
AFM files to /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/psprint/fontmetric -- just in
case. (do you notice any acts of desperation here??)
One thing I did notice. My prior installs all have "fonts.dir" in the directory
with the fonts. The new install did not. There seems to be no control file,
although spadmin does remember the fonts that I installed when reactivated. So,
I added one ;) -- did not help. :(
The other interesting thing -- the preinstalled symbols, URW, and Times fonts
all DO look correct in both the pull-down AND the format -> character -- so it
is not totally broken; it just does not make the connection for my newly
installed fonts.
So, I am out of ideas. I can use some help in getting this debugged. What is
missing that takes me from having the names listed to displaying the correct
glyphs in oowriter? Where is it getting the idea to use the Sans-Serif font?
Thanks!
KC
