Please do mind that Calibri is a Microsoft proprietary font strictly
connected to a Windows/MS Office license, which cannot be used if you do
not have such a license. This is clearly stated in the Windows/MS Office
EULA. LibreOffice offers a Calibri replacement, Carlito, which has a
free font license and can therefore be downloaded and installed on every
operating system without infringing the license.


Thanks for everyone for the replies.  :)   I did install the Carlito
font.  :)However, I'm still looking for a way to see which
substitute font Writer chose, if that's possible.MS Word appears to
support this, as indicated in this article:

http://wordribbon.tips.net/T012657_Finding_Words_Font_Substitutes.html

Is there a way to determine which font Writer uses as the substitute font?

Thanks!

Peace...

There is a way to define which font substitutes for which fonts. 
ToolOptionsLibreOfficeFonts  has a substitute table option to define 
the substitutions.


As for which font is automatically used if you do not have a document 
font installed, I have not seen where it will show which one is used.  I 
am told that there is some system that will look for the best font that 
is installed, which looks most like the one needed.  If you have a free 
substitute font, like the one that is defined for replacing Calibri 
and other proprietary MS fonts.


It is nice to have MS Core fonts available for Linux, but some of the 
newer ones are being work on for very similar free version. There are a 
lot of online sources for free fonts and lists for which free fonts 
looks like which paid/proprietary fonts.   I have seen some version 
update notes stating that LibreOffice has various new fonts being 
installed with these new versions.  I know that there is a lot of 
interest to make sure LO has the best free fonts available to make 
viewing/editing MS Office documents with less and less font substitution 
issues.  For those that LO does not have as part of their install, you 
can always find the best free substitute fonts, for Linux and Windows, 
from online sources.  I have over 100,000 fonts in my font folders, most 
specialty fonts though.  I found that there are a lot of great fonts out 
there that are so similar to paid fonts, that you will not have any 
document issues.  You just have to look for them.  Googling for the 
substitute font is really the best way to start your search though.

 PPA installs are fine, if you want to run the one that is currently on the
 PPA list.

 Personally, I have not changed over to the 4.4.0.x package.  I usually
 wait for the .2 or .3 version before I switch.

 Because of an extended illness, I have not started testing 4.4.0.x on
 one of my systems.  I do this before I install the new line onto my
 main/default system.

 It might be helpful to have someone to post the PPA script here so those
 who want to try it can get the correct install procedure.

 On Ubuntu i have to install Base separately.  I'm not sure what
 happened when i installed the official one from the LibreOffice website.
 Can't quite remember that far back tbh.  When i use a package-manager to
 isntall the default one in the repos i can select all sorts of components

 especially for 'Ubuntu clones'?  (although i think it's been a lng time

 I thought the Windows version had pretty much everything all in one

 and Mac version allowed a bit more finesse?

 I still don't know where to get Base from as i was fairly convinced it
 was included in the main Windows install automatically.

 As you know, Tom, Linux Mint is a fork of Ubuntu, so generally

 on Ubuntu ?...

 Tom, I just took a chance and performed a search for LibreOffice in the

Thanks, Tom ! Now it's incumbent upon us to attempt to help the OP,
pranzar, with his problem. From what I've been able to understand, JRE is
required for certain of the programmes in the LO package to be installed in
Windows. Pranzar tells us that he has a version of Java 8

installed ; I wonder if the installed version is the 64 or the 32-bit
version. I have seen claims to the effect that LO - and for that matter OO
- require a 32-bit version of Java to function in Windows ; however, on my
own Windows machine, I currently have a 64-bit Java 8 Update 31 installed
and, as noted previously, all the LO programs work well there. In any event
this is a parameter with which Pranzer might wish to play - if he currently
has a 32-bit version installed he might wish to install a 64-bit version
and *vice versa*

I wish him the best of luck !

[libreoffice-users] Re: docear bibliographic reference management

2015-02-16 Thread V Stuart Foote

*,

A quick query of our Nabble archives shows nothing beyond Joeran Beel's
opening ad for a dev to write a plug-in for Docear.
  
Maybe Joeran B. will pipe up, but this was the latest posted over on the
Docear site:

http://www.docear.org/2014/10/23/how-to-proceed-with-the-development-of-the-docear4libreoffice-add-on/

So while folks wait for the Docear project to get a move on,  the Zotero
plug-in is already fully integrated into LO and AOO.
   
Personally, I still think Thompson-Reuters is missing the boat by not
resuming CWYW development support for ODF  (LO 4, AOO  4 and kin)--and
finally implementing a Linux flavor.  But of course I benefit from Campus
site licensing for some of the  commercial software.

 In LO 4.4.0.3 

 on my (64-bit) Linux Mint 17.1 machine, I can open Writer, Calc,
 Impress,
 Draw, and Math with no problem, but klicking on Base does nothing at
 all ;
 the service simply doesn't launch. On my (64-bit) Windows 8.1 machine,
 however, Base launches just as it should. How can I get it to do so on
 my
 Linux box, which is the one I generally use ?...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Where is Base?

Hi :)
Ahh, i thought it wasn't possible to deselect any of the components in a
Windows install. I still doubt that much space is saved so i don't see any
particular advantage - except that it makes it more like MS Office bundles
that each have different things missing.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Question about font replacement/substitution in Writer 4.3.3

Hi :)
A bundle of the mostly commonly used MS fonts are in a package called
something like;
*ttf-mscorefonts-installer*

I think that is the specifically Ubuntu name, others in the Debian family
might have a slightly different name.  I'm not sure if Mint and otehrs
revert to the Debian name or stay with the Ubuntu one.  I'm fairly certain
that all other families use the same name as each other but different from
the Ubuntu name.  I dunno why Ubuntu decided to be awkward and use a
different name [shrugs]

Please do mind that Calibri is a Microsoft proprietary font strictly
connected to a Windows/MS Office license, which cannot be used if you do
not have such a license. This is clearly stated in the Windows/MS Office
EULA. LibreOffice offers a Calibri replacement, Carlito, which has a
free font license and can therefore be downloaded and installed on every
operating system without infringing the license.

thanks mike! adding the ppa means, you did not remove the old LO-version

Correct. I added the ppa, did a refresh, and was offered the new versions
in synaptic.

(Irrelevant probably, but synaptic then refused to actually do the upgrade
- but this has happened lately for various packages, not just LO. Using apt
(or was it apt-get?) directly performed all the upgrades correctly.)


Mike, I use the LO PPA to install all the upgrades to my 64-bit Linux Mint
box (currently 17.1)
, which means that they are installed automatically via the Update Manager
- i e, I don't have to look for them in Synaptic or use «apt-get» in a
terminal to install them. Very convenient, but as I recently mentioned on
another thread, Base seems to be missing from the latest version (4.4.0.3)
installed on this computer - in any event, when I click the Base icon in
LibreOffice nothing at all happens, and when I enter «soffice --base» in a
terminal, LibreOffice opens not to Base, but to Writer !...

I'm not a frequent user of Base, but I can't recall encountering this
problem with previous versions of LO on Mint. I note that all LO services,
including Base, work just fine on my Windows 64-bit 8.1 box. Any
suggestions as to what may be wrong and how to fix it would be greatly
appreciated !...

Henri



PPA installs are fine, if you want to run the one that is currently on 
the PPA list.


Personally, I have not changed over to the 4.4.0.x package.  I usually 
wait for the .2 or .3 version before I switch.


Because of an extended illness, I have not started testing 4.4.0.x on 
one of my systems.  I do this before I install the new line onto my 
main/default system.


It might be helpful to have someone to post the PPA script here so 
those who want to try it can get the correct install procedure.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?

Hi :)
On Ubuntu i have to install Base separately.  I'm not sure what happened
when i installed the official one from the LibreOffice website.  Can't
quite remember that far back tbh.  When i use a package-manager to isntall
the default one in the repos i can select all sorts of components and maybe
Extensions and stuff.  I thought it was the same for all Linux, especially
for 'Ubuntu clones'?  (although i think it's been a lng time since Mint
could be claimed to be that)

I thought the Windows version had pretty much everything all in one package
(and the the help files in a separate bundle)?  Then the Linux, Bsd and Mac
version allowed a bit more finesse?

I still don't know where to get Base from as i was fairly convinced it was
included in the main Windows install automatically.
Regards from
Tom :)
