[Bug 43338] Re: OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts
Just filed a bug yesterday (sadly, I did not find /this/ bug until today) that is a dup of this one - bug 121294). I have a small screencast showing the problem with an OTF font that I recently acquired myself. It's a shame, because the font is really good looking, IMHO. Is there any way to make OOo use the font rendering that comes with Ubuntu? IIRC, OOo uses a lot of its own private copies of shared libs and that is one reason that it has other issues, as well, including increased memory usage because it isn't sharing with the libs that the rest of the system is using. -- OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 43338] Re: OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts
So that's not ideal either.

[Bug 43338] Re: OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts
It's possible to do a lossless conversion to Type1, where the glyph quality remains unaffected, but Type 1 font can only handle 256 glyph in contrast to the 65535 glyphs OpenType can handle. -- OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts https://launchpad.net/bugs/43338 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 43338] Re: OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts
Indeed, it seems to be an upstream issue. Anyway the lossy conversion is total crap.

[Bug 43338] Re: OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts
Just wanted to confirm this for Fontin at least. It appears to be an upstream issue with any OpenType fonts with the .otf extension (which should mean they have PostScript outlines). See: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16032 Apparently, you can do a somewhat lossy conversion to TTF. ** Bug watch added: OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker #16032 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16032 ** Also affects: openoffice (upstream) via http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16032 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- OpenOffice.org does not support OpenType fonts https://launchpad.net/bugs/43338 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
