[dev] Greek fonts on Linux OO.o
From a quick search i didn't find the issue. I refer to the problem with greek fonts. When the user types something in Greek OO.o frequently takes the characters from a font which doesn't have the suitable characters with very very very ugly results. You can see the problem here: http://static.flickr.com/25/62583834_0436c1bfff_o.png Note how different 1 and 2 are. The first misses characters and even the ones which appear are very ugly. The ugly fonts appear even in OO.o's GUI. In windows this problem doesn't exist which hints that the solution should be straightforward, please people help fix this because it's a major obstacle in OO.o adoption in Greece. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
