 Does MS Office embed fonts?


It is a rarely used option, disabled by default.

To use it not breaking copyright law, you need to have a properly
licensed font. If you are using non-free font, usually you are not
allowed to redistribute it in your document.

PDF does not embed complete font, just the forms used in the document.
With editable documents, you need to have complete font.

 I think it would be best if restricted fonts were simply Grayed out
 in the font listing and LO simply refused to use them in any way. 


Let us try not to repeat everything said before here:
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20370

There are many valid concerns there.

But do not forget that LibreOffice is free software*, you can always
hack your own patches, try to raise a bounty and engage new developers
or something else...

About the ODF format, there should be a process at OASIS and ODF TC how
to participate.

But it would probably be more effective if there is a working code for
the proposed features, not just a tagline let us do it. Trying not to
speak in anybody's name, if this becomes implemented in LibreOffice and
community wants it, TDF can probably advocate it officially inside the
ODF TC. 

*) free as in freedom

 As long as ODF has this inherent limitation it WILL NEVER SUCCEED as a 
 universal document exchange format!!!


Different formats exists with different goals. But there is this great
thing called hybrid PDF document - it is a PDF with ODF embedded.

You can view it in any PDF reader pixel-perfect, or open it as editable
to create new works.

It is not just about fonts, you have page page size and margins, page
breaks, dynamic text, binary objects... If I am not mistaken, ODF does
not specify how the output should exactly look, but more how it should
feel. You can have a compliant ODF viewer targeting small screens,
just like with HTML.

Re: [tdf-discuss] TDF Certification

 All it needs to do is have a set of criteria or even a simple
 contractual statement that the partner company providing services on
 behalf of the community will uphold community principles and not bring
 it into disrepute. 

Why the such contract is required? If trademark policy allows you to do
the certification business, what is the point of the having a contract?

Are you suggesting there should be some exclusivity where only those who
are signing a contract with TDF can do the certification? I see this as
a real danger for the community.

Your contribution in terms of learning materials and LibreOffice
promotion is valuable as such, I do not see why would you need further
endorsements.

 We only need the en_us version, and I'm sure lots of others only need
 their language, so everyone downloading 318MB seems like a huge waste
 of bandwidth...

On the other hand creating, building, uploading and hosting up to 200MB
per language looks like much more expensive.

 Thanx

Why LibreOffice.org when the project is called just LibreOffice without
the .org?

It should be even better to have facebook.com/libo as the username.
Unfortunately these can not be changed, but instead new page have to be
created and old one deleted.

 Not sure where thinking is on this for LiBO at the moment, but is it
 concievable that updating even to each new version could, after a User
 response, be automatic and if elected by the User - replace the
 previous version automatically please?
 
 Paul

Hi Paul,

A first step would be to replicate the update notification feature
available in the OpenOffice.org. I guess only infrastructure is missing
for that one.

I remember last year in Orvieto there were some talks about new
packaging for all platforms that would allow online installation
(allowing user to select, download and install any combination of
languages, cutting space requirements to do full install sets).

I do not know what is the current status of this development and if it
would be easier to add autoupdate feature after that task is completed.

Kind regards,
Goran Rakic
