[libreoffice-users] resizing superscript/subscript
Hi, I would like to change the default relative size of superscript font. The default value of 58% is too small, a value around 70% or 80% would be better for my use. I know how to change that for one occurrence, but I need to change the default value, modifiing all the text already there. I expected I would be able to edit the corresponding style but I don't find the relevant one.

I wonder where the font was re-installed to, since I had it installed via the package manager already, but could not find the name "Unifont" listed. When I went online to the Unifont "project", I downloaded the full 12 MB version TTF file. When I looked at it in the font viewer, it was very "boxy" - actually each character is made up with boxes. Both the Web site and the info in the package manager stated the boxiness of the font. I still wonder what is the best looking unicode font with somewhere near the number of characters/glyphs that Arial Unicode has. -- Jean-Louis Oneto email: jl.on...@free.fr -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Dear Libre Office team
Hi, If you are really worry about security, you should apply the rule in practice in high security agency (military...): only use software that you compîled yourself, from official source files, and after checking the sources for any backdoor or security issues. While usually you can get the source of proprietary sofware (with a non-disclosure agreement and often a lots of money), Open-source software let you do that for free. That's one major reason that those agencies favor more and more open source. Best regards, Jean-Louis On 13/10/2015 12:47, Alexander Y Lee wrote: Hi, I am Libre office user on Mac OS.

DOS *was* originally designed and written by SCP, but I do not recall it being a "test" system. Digital Research was essentially ignoring the new Intel processors, and the people that formed SCP finally got tired of waiting for something that showed no signs of ever happening, and created what became DOS. That was half of a double-screw up by Gary Kildall, who formed and led DRI. The 2nd screw-up (this story is apocryphal) was him leaving visitors from IBM to meet with his wife, rather than him. IBM decided DRI was not serious, stopped in to see Gates, Gates bought "DOS," and the rest is history. So is DRI.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: register true origins
Back in 1973, I had was working in the US on a camera-ready book composition, and I was given the "Pocket Pal, a graphic artsproduction handbook", from International Paper Company (10th edition (1970), 3rd printing, rev. January 1973. (the original edition is 1934) as a reference book for english typesetting terminology (I am French and my Polish is very basic :-) , and even if I cannot claim six-quarter printer ancestry, I have some knowledge of printing technologies, from composing stick using mobile lead typefaces to latest digital ones.) In the "graphic arts terms" glossary, there are the following entries: * register: Fitting of two or more printing images on the sae paper in exact alignment with each other. * register marks: Crosses or other devices applied to original copy prior to photography. Used for positioning negatives in register, or for register of two or more colors in process printing. The term "registration" is also used in image processing in a close meaning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_registration Best regards, Jean-Louis On 08/08/2012 16:32, Andrew Brager wrote: On 8/7/2012 7:11 PM, Brian Barker wrote: At 12:39 07/08/2012 -0700, Andrew Brager wrote: Yet, it fails to answer my original question which is where do the words "register true" come from, and to extend and clarify the question - how did register true come to mean "aligning baselines"? I think that bit's fairly easy. According to the dictionary, one sense of "register" as a noun is "a state of proper alignment" and as a verb "to adjust so as to be properly aligned" or "to be in proper alignment". And "true" similarly can mean as an adjective "accurately placed", and as an adverb "precisely" or "exactly". So "register true" can mean "align exactly" or "precise alignment". (There's nothing about baselines - but we're talking about vertical alignment, so what else could you align?) Brian Barker While I don't doubt your research (I essentially said the same thing in an example - to wit: /I'd be somewhat satisfied if I saw in a book somewhere that was describing the finer points of typesetting or some such, and it simply stated something to the effect of "when they used to set type on the presses built in the early 1900's, they would first align the baselines of all the typeface thingys, and then say to somebody 'it registers true, you may print it'". /) The problem is you're guessing, as was I. If you said to me something like "I've been a typesetter for 45 years, and my daddy was a typesetter before me and before that my granddaddy before him and we always used to align baselines and we called it register true, I don't know why we just did"... well, that at least carry's some ring of authority. If you'd of added "Back in them days register meant 'align' and true meant 'precise', ok that closes the circle. Finis. In lieu of that, a book from a confirmed authority stating something similar would be preferable. It's not that I'm unwilling to accept your explanation, I just would of preferred hearing it from an authoritative source, such that it's undeniable. At this point I'm willing to drop the matter, other than to say I still vote for a change in name from "register true" to "align baselines" simply because it's more clear - at least to me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Document rendering flaw in LibreOffice
Hi Tom! I'm surprised with that: IFAIK, the docx format was just the opposite: the (XML) Open Format reply of Microsoft to the banning of proprietary formats (the old .doc formats were especially targeted...) by the governments of a lot of countries, starting with the USA, Japan, several European countries...: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docx I suppose that if Microsoft made available a converter pack (with read and WRITE capabilities), it was also not entirely for avoiding people to buy the new versions of MSO... Best regards, Jean-Louis Le 27/08/2011 20:39, Tom Davies a écrit : Hi :) If you can then please stick with the .doc format and avoid the .docX. The newer format is proprietary and was designed to be incompatible with non-MS Office programs including LibreOffice.

Thanks a lot to all of you, Jean-Louis Maybe it deserves a better name in the menu? But unfortunately I have no suggestions, at least not yet… I feel that the validation tool is just well named: the problem is rather that it can make so many different things that it is diffucuilt if non impossible to find a "better" name! My problem was rather the opposite: I always considered that the "Data" menu contained almost only tools for... "databases" (or at least data sources, including reformating of CSV data... That was partly why I didn't understand why "Controls" were made for databases, and why I had to avoid "controls" in the first place. My first think was rather the opposite: use the controls for simple tasks on calc sheets, and use "Data menu" items for "databases". This was sustained by the fact that most of the "Data" tools just ask you to connect to a database! May be it should be the control tools which should be renamed (or just suppressed as some people suggested) ?

They are made for database input in the first place. menu:Data>Validation... Accept: ... does the trick accepting any formula expression, even calculated references to dynamic ranges. When you turn off the error message, you get the same behaviour as a combo, which is just a text box with auto-complete suggestions. Unlike form controls, this spreadsheet variant of a combo box can be copied across ranges. Hope this helps, Andreas In fact I had found a very similar thread (with a very similar answer...) in the OO forum: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=38322&p=175957&hilit=combo+box#p175957 but the problem is that in either case I am unable to understand the solution.: I was able to define a Data:Validation..Accept:CellRange, but only if I'm not in Form creation mode, otherwise all the entries of the Data mennue are greyed out. And if define a CellRange with a name, then I'm unable to use it in the combo box (or a list box) I don't understand either why there are controls in Scalc which are supposed to be left unused. And with all the hectic thread about Base and databases, I even feel that if I should avoid something, that would be... databases! Besides that, I just need to choose a set of parameters from list of less than ten entries, and I would feel like overkill to build a database for that! -- Jean-Louis Oneto e-mail: jl.on...@free.fr -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
