Hi Dennis

It's interesting that you find out about this now...

When I did some tests back in May 2011 and I questioned if TDF shouldn't
worry about this and have its own tool, nobody found it important...

http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Odt-size-difference-between-MS-Office-11-and-LO-3-3-2-tt2978634.html#a2985444

I guess too much information is lost in these mailing lists...

  hi Pedro,

  Concerning the weird ODF Validator results you noticed in May,
  I can add a little of what I had encountered independently.
  I agree that it is difficult to find like-minded people who 
  think these are important to reconcile.

   - Dennis

  BACKGROUND

  I was a newcomer to this list in June, I think.  Mining older 
  list posts doesn't seem to be in my DNA.  I think I knew about
  the manifest:manifest manifest:version disconnect before that
  though.  I shall have to look.  I know it came up in discussions
  on some list that I was on before here.

  I don't think OASIS needs to do an ODF validator, there is at
  least one already and it is more about making a concerted
  effort to verify what they do and don't detect and keep
  improving them.  It needs to be a publicly built and supported
  tool, that is exercised more by folks looking for ODF discrepancies
  in files from products or in the validator itself.  It takes a
  community of practical people, not a standards body, in my
  experience.

  I think you were seeing a situation where the validator was
  updated to final ODF 1.2 and so was OOo-3.4 and no one was worrying
  about the down-level compatibility issues -- not the ODF TC
  either.

  My approach to this is to propose an OIC TC Advisory that 
  recommends ignoring the rigidity of the manifest:version
  requirement, advise validators to be forgiving (maybe warnings
  instead of errors about it), and advise consumers to work
  with and without it in incoming documents.

  I think it is a practical matter and a pragmatic solution
  matters.  

  I stumbled on this in an unexpected way on a document forensic
  analysis on a completely different issue when I noticed that
  the addition of manifest:manifest version broke the strict 
  conformance to syntax that is implemented in what Microsoft 
  Office 2007 and 2010 accept as well-formed ODF 1.0/1.1. 
  (Office will repair the file to ODF 1.1 compliance
  and continue, but it scares users no end to be told the input
  file is corrupt.) 

  Apparently older versions of OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice 
  ignore manifest attributes they weren't built to support, 
  but the ODF Validator is more strict about it.  

  There is no guidance of that sort in the ODF specification itself.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Symbols: alpha

 I don't know of a way to type %alpha and get then the greek letter

Just to add to what you've mentioned: To insert a Math object into
Writer you can do the following:
Insert  Object  Formula

You can actually type the formula first, select what you've typed, and
then insert a formula object (this converts the text to a formula).
You can also assign a short-cut key to Insert  Object  Formula if
you don't want to use the mouse every time.  Just be careful, there
are 2 insert formula commands in Writer.  The other (assigned to F2)
creates a Calc-style formula that actually calculates an equation,
rather than displaying a formula.

Another alternative is to type the letters fn (without the quotes)
on a new line and press F3 (Run Autotext Entry).

Hi Deni

The OASIS ODF 1.2 Committee Specification 01 has been successfully

Rob Weir has a nice summary on his

lists the names of the contributors of 1.2 from the specification.
Some of those names will be familiar here.

Congrats to the team, great news! I was wondering if we were already
compliant with ODF1.2? If so we should market this along with
LibreOffice -- backwards compatibility being fully supported of course.

Cheers,

Marc




Thanks to all the people who answered this. It seems whether LibreOffice 
is partially or completely compliant to OASIS version 1.2 is more 
complicated to establish for non-dev people.


It would be interesting if OASIS had a validation site much like the W3C 
validation site[1] where a person could check whether their version of 
ODF files were OASIS-approved. It doesn't look like there is such a 
location on the OASIS site.


Cheers

[libreoffice-users] Re: [writer] How to check a whole table cell ?

2011-10-04 Thread Guillaume
Great ! I did the job using your workaround :

1. Create a .jpg image : white background + black cross
2. In Writer document : select the cell
3. Menu Table  Table Properties...
3. In Table format window  Background  as image   select the .jpg
file  Type filing

And it looks and prints very nice.

Thanks all.

However it would be nicer to request an enhancement for Writer cells
borders.

[libreoffice-users] New article about LO and OOo

2011-10-04 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions


A new article came out with info about the differences between 
LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org.


The problem was the author did not get all her facts straight.

She calls LO and OOo the same program, but it is no longer the same.  
She even states that LO programmers have removed a lot of code, so it 
is not the same program any more.  Actually the move to Python code to 
replace Java changes a lot as well.   Sure it looks similar, but that 
does not make it the same.  I can get Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian to look 
the same but I do not think you can call them the same either, even 
though they are related and came from the same original code base.


She also states OOo has picked up on its updates, but I just looked and 
it still at 3.3.0 for its offered download from its site.  So if it was 
at 3.3.0 in the spring and in the fall it is the same, I do not think it 
has picked up on its updates.  LO has gone from 3.3.0 to 3.3.4 and to 
3.4.3 since spring.


At least she does state that most people agree that LO is the better 
of the two, and she recommends it to her listeners.


It is good that we have another article stating that people prefer LO 
over OOo, but I wish she would get all of her facts straight.

I wish she would do better.  I stopped listening to her radio show, and 
many times her complete answers need you to be a paid user to get it.  
Sometimes it feels she no longer gives meat but just cookie crumbs as 
answers.


Since she recommends LO, she should get her info correct about it, 
though.  Where she is getting the info that OOo has started putting out 
more updates is something that makes my head itch.   To me it is clear 
that OOo is right now stuck with 3.3.0, while LO is far, far, beyond 
that version.

Looking at the WHERE clause, I do not follow your selection criteria.
You may want to use parentheses to clarify your logic. It looks like all
the conditions must be true for the query to give any results. Nothing
obvious comes to mind. You might trying to use a column of text as if it
was a column of integers, pure guess. I would look at the column
definitions to make sure that the data types match correctly. In the US
we have numeric postal codes that are often defined as text to keep the
leading zero - 08540 is stored as text not as an integer (8540).

Also, I would try breaking up the query, at least for testing.

Hi :)

There is a saying No truth in the News and no news in the truth.  Apparently 
it's said that If 5 Jamaicans see an event there are 7 different stories about 
what happened.  The Jamican chap who told me that put it much more elegantly!  

The important thing is that the names gets out there.  Details that are 
blatantly wrong will be discovered easily by anyone digging a little deeper.  
From our point of view the objective of any story in the press or elsewhere is 
to get people interested in digging a little, preferably to download it and 
give it a go.

Hi :)
LibreOffice has been pushing out upgrades not updates.  There has not been 
anything as small as an update for LO, it's all been a lot  substantial.  

Maybe OpenOffice is putting out a few patches and bitsbobs?  I wouldn't know 
as the only place i have OOo is on an out-of-date Fedora (which i plan to 
install Ubuntu 11.10 on in about a month)

 Hello,
 
 Hoping this is the right forum, I wanted to ask if anyone could help me 
 get anti-aliasing to work with Graphite fonts (Linux Biolinum G and 
 Linux Libertine G) on LibreOffice. Without anti-aliasing it looks pretty 
 terrible on-screen, but still very nice when exported or printed. The 
 OpenType versions of the same fonts work fine (though without the 
 Graphite good stuff) as do the Graphite fonts in other applications that 
 I have tried.
 
 My system is Debian unstable, LibreOffice 3.4.3 but the problem appears 
 on my other Debian boxes running Debian stable and OpenOffice 3.2.1.
...
You can easily see if on screen antialiasing is working:
Tools|Options|LibreOffice|View|uncheck 'Screen font antialiasing' and
click OK. You should notice a considerable difference.

That said, I find the fonts Linux Biolinum G and
Linux Libertine G ttf fonts provided as defaults in LO do have rendering
problems (particularly when viewed at standard 12 pt). They also seem to
have odd version numbers with compared with the fonts from:
http://www.linuxlibertine.org/
  http://www.linuxlibertine.org/index.php?id=91L=1

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxlibertine/files/linuxlibertine/5.1.3-2/
or
http://www.numbertext.org/linux/

You might want to give the Linux Biolinum O and
Linux Libertine O OTF fonts a try instead; those render much cleaner
(screen and print) for me on Ubuntu 10.10.
(LinLibertineOTF_5.1.3_2011_06_21.tgz)
Do a sample document using G  O and pay particular attention to the
capital 'T' in the Libertine fonts. I just did a simple test doc:

This is  a test using Linux Libertine G.

This is a test using Linux Libertine O.

This is a test using Linux Biolinum G.

This is a test using Linux Biolinum O.

This is a test using Times New Roman.

and can spot the differences. The LO Libertine G is missing glyphs.

If I get time later, I'll rip out the LO versions in
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/fonts and replace with the other TTF
versions to see if the issue is just the TTF conversion, or the LO version.

[libreoffice-users] Interviewer, anyone?

2011-10-04 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
This interview is a good opportunity for someone to gain
experience at doing a non-hostile interview.  Both sides of the
interview want to show off good sides of the project and possibly the
interview might be used in promotions work to encourage more people to
try LibreOffice.  Most of us are volunteers and most of us gain a lot by doing 
so.  

At worst a few people waste a couple of
hours but at best we end up with more people working in both teams and
gain promotional materials and perhaps those involved make positive
changes to, or refresh, their career-goals (and perhaps opportunities)
in their paid work.  Heck, it might even be fun too!

Here is a previous interview about something else
http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/01/21/developer-interview-robert-nagy/

It might be best to join the Marketing List to get details. Italo  Drew might 
be useful contacts.  Italo is a lead person in marketing and was at the 
Hackfest.  Drew has done some YouTube work.  If you choose to do video work he 
might have some tipstricks and maybe some ideas.  

The Hackfest happened a few weeks ago and seems to have been very positive.

Thanks to all the people who answered this. It seems whether LibreOffice 
is partially or completely compliant to OASIS version 1.2 is more 
complicated to establish for non-dev people.

It would be interesting if OASIS had a validation site much like the W3C 
validation site[1] where a person could check whether their version of 
ODF files were OASIS-approved. It doesn't look like there is such a 
location on the OASIS site.

Cheers

[1] http://validator.w3.org

orcmid
  Yes, there is no OASIS validation tool.  There is one that Oracle has.

  This has been discussed more on the Assessing ODF Conformance ... 
  thread.  

  There will never be an OASIS-approved statement for ODF 
  documents.  

  There is basically schema validation available, and there are a variety
  of schema verifiers.  It would be good to work cooperatively to improve
  them.  (Schema validity assessment is not enough to know that all of the 
  ODF rules not baked into the schema are honored, but it is an important
  first-order start.)

Re: [libreoffice-users] New article about LO and OOo

The eWeek Linux e-newsletter has an article for

LibreOffice, The Document Foundation Mark First Anniversary

http://web.eweek.com/t?r=2c=45439l=54ctl=13A790:91D0536A255EC8E5AA35B7A6F056437A;

Yes, as long as the good work goes out and people see that LO is there 
and is a good alternative to MSO.


I went online and OOo is still showing 3.3.0, just like it had when LO's 
3.3.0 beat them to that version number.  I did not see any info for any 
release above that.  If there would be any updates, it would say .01 or 
.1 after 3.3, but that was not there.


As for Ubuntu 11.xx, it seems to install the highest resolution of the 
graphics card instead of the largest resolution that the monitor does.  
I found out that when I tried to install 11.04.  I may see if my CRT 
monitor will work with that resolution and then install 11.10 and reduce 
the resolution to what my LCD can do..

LibreOffice has been pushing out upgrades not updates.  There has not been anything as small as an update for LO, it's all been a lot  substantial. 


Maybe OpenOffice is putting out a few patches and bitsbobs?  I wouldn't know 
as the only place i have OOo is on an out-of-date Fedora (which i plan to install 
Ubuntu 11.10 on in about a month)

She calls LO and OOo the same program, but it is no longer the same.  She even states 
that LO programmers have removed a lot of code, so it is not the same program 
any more.  Actually the move to Python code to replace Java changes a lot as well.   Sure 
it looks similar, but that does not make it the same.  I can get Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian 
to look the same but I do not think you can call them the same either, even though they 
are related and came from the same original code base.

She also states OOo has picked up on its updates, but I just looked and it still at 3.3.0 
for its offered download from its site.  So if it was at 3.3.0 in the spring and in the 
fall it is the same, I do not think it has picked up on its updates.  LO has 
gone from 3.3.0 to 3.3.4 and to 3.4.3 since spring.

At least she does state that most people agree that LO is the better of the 
two, and she recommends it to her listeners.

It is good that we have another article stating that people prefer LO over OOo, 
but I wish she would get all of her facts straight.

Give me LibreOffice or give me OpenOffice?

Earlier this year, IBM encouraged Oracle to spin off OpenOffice to the Apache 
Software Foundation. IBM has a stake in all this because its Lotus Symphony 
business productivity suite is based on OpenOffice.

The hope is that the community-driven Apache Software Foundation will do for 
OpenOffice what the Document Foundation did for LibreOffice. That's why you may 
have noticed OpenOffice updates picking up a bit.

RE: [libreoffice-users] New article about LO and OOo

2011-10-04 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
Concerning the glance, below, at what might be further releases beyond OOo 
3.3.0,
I can add this much personal observation:

The release last being worked on at OpenOffice.org was OOo 3.4.0.  An OOo-dev 
3.4
is available for download, but that is equivalent to a beta.

Because of license changes and such, I would not expect to see any more 3.3
releases of any kind.  The first Apache OOo 3.4.0 incubator release, whenever 
it 
happens, will be rather different for that reason as well.  

It is too soon to know details at this point.  At AOOo, the work is to get 
builds 
working again and also take other steps necessary to accomplish a 
during-incubation
release at Apache.  

A full-up release is not imminent, though there should be source that others can
build from and adapt too, once the license declarations are cleaned up in the 
code
and some incompatible-license dependencies are cleaned out.

I went online and OOo is still showing 3.3.0, just like it had when LO's 
3.3.0 beat them to that version number.  I did not see any info for any 
release above that.  If there would be any updates, it would say .01 or 
.1 after 3.3, but that was not there.

 It might be best to join the Marketing List to get details. Italo  Drew
 might be useful contacts.  Italo is a lead person in marketing and was at
 the Hackfest.  Drew has done some YouTube work.  If you choose to do video
 work he might have some tipstricks and maybe some ideas.

 The Hackfest happened a few weeks ago and seems to have been very
 positive.

  At worst a few people waste a couple of

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: No anti-aliasing with Graphite fonts

2011-10-04 Thread Jonathan Schultz

You can easily see if on screen antialiasing is working:
Tools|Options|LibreOffice|View|uncheck 'Screen font antialiasing' and
click OK. You should notice a considerable difference.


Yes it does work with other fonts, including Biolinum O and Libertine O. 
But those are not the same as the Graphite fonts, they don't do the 
glyph and kerning and other pretty things. I can certainly live with 
them for on-screen editing, but it would still be nice to have the 
Graphite versions working properly.



That said, I find the fonts Linux Biolinum G and
Linux Libertine G ttf fonts provided as defaults in LO do have rendering
problems (particularly when viewed at standard 12 pt). They also seem to
have odd version numbers with compared with the fonts from:


Those fonts don't even exist in my LO - presumably it's a Debian choice 
not to ship them. I've installed them manually. Maybe I should ask the 
question on a Debian list?


Still, what is strange is that the Graphite fonts work fine (ie with 
anti-aliasing) in other applications such as PDF viewers and the font 
viewer, just not in LO.

2011-10-04 Thread Jonathan Schultz

It's easy to see the difference between the G and the O versions. I find
that same when printing directly to the printer.


I'm not sure if you are suggesting that they should be the same. My 
understanding is that they should not be the same, because the OTF 
versions are missing the extra graphite features. An easy test it to try 
typing ff in each of the fonts - in the graphite version the two fs 
are closer together than in the OTF version and the second f is 
slightly larger than the first.



Where did you install them from  where did you put them?


I just naively installed them with the KDE font installer on one box, 
and the Gnome font installer on the other. That seems to have put them 
under /usr/local/share/fonts/



If LO is installed directly they are in the /opt folders:
$ ls /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/fonts/truetype


Obviously Debian puts these someplace else - I have no /opt/libreoffice* 
directory. In fact AFAICT the LO that I have includes no fonts at all. 
That is, I have grepped the file list from all



When I tested I removed all and installed directly to ~/.fonts


I have no ~/.fonts directory either.


When you tried the
'Tools|Options|LibreOffice|View|uncheck 'Screen font antialiasing' did
the screen Graphite fonts change in LO?


Yes it did change. So it is doing some kind of anti-aliasing, but still 
looks wrong. Is it worth my making a screenshot?
