Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Smart.  I guess most of us just hadn't thought of it.  

I think short-forms are quite cute and friendly but the marketing team asked us 
not to use them outside the lists to the wider world (personal emails and 
smaller groups can do what they want of course).  We need to get the full name 
out there apparently.  Normally a name change such as from OpenOffice to 
LibreOffice would be phased in using both names in conjunction with each other 
for about a year or more apparently otherwise there is a risk of losing and 
confusing people and losing the "Brand recognition".  


Early on the lists agreed to use LibO as the agreed shortening but to me that 
makes it sound like the thousands of library files i routinely ignore so a few 
of us started using LO as in "Lo and behold" (oops).  Fx is the term used 
backstage rather than writing "Special Effects".  Lx is for "electrics" or 
"electronics" although people tend to pronounce it "elec-trickery" or "Leccy" 
to 
try to be amusing or cute or express annoyance.  

Regards from
Tom :)

We are using computers, aren't we? So why shorten anything? I use a
text expansion tool called AutoKey (there are other ones for other
operating systems) to expand all my shortenings as I type, like ””
for ”OpenOffice.org”, ”lboo” for ”LibreOffice”, ”lboc” for
”LibreOffice Calc” and ”kregj” for:

Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

Which font app are you talking about?  I use GNOME on Ubuntu and I had 
several to choose from.  It even had a default font viewer app included.


Besides, I do not live in a cave, but on the 10 floor of a building that 
houses the elderly and the physically handicapped.  No jokes about that 
please, since I am an advocate for the rights of handicapped/disabled 
people.


Myself, I choose GNOME over KDE.  There are some nice things about KDE, 
but I rather use GNOME and add some of the KDE utilities to it to give 
me the best of both worlds.

Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

What I did was make sure I had some font viewer installed.  IF you right 
click on the font, you should see something like "Open with Font 
Viewer"  That should open a dialog box with the font in it.  At the 
bottom right side of the box there should be an "Install Font" button".  
Click on that and you have just "properly" installed it.


For me, I always wan to see the font before I install it.

I currently have over 400 .ttf fonts installed.  Most of these fonts I 
rarely use, while other will be removed since they did not pass my 
"testing" them for use on projects.  Most are specialty fonts for 
specific use [handwriting, ding-bats, stylized, etc.].


Most of the fonts were installed this way, while some were installed 
using the package manager.


As for automated install of 100's of fonts, then yes try copying the 
fonts into the hidden ".font" folder in the "user" folder.

[i.e. "timothy/.font" for my Ubuntu system]

Are you transferring your fonts from an existing Windows computer's 
list?  I have done that myself.


Still, it would be a good chance to review [now] what fonts you really 
want/need to use from that list of 100's of fonts.  I have a font 
storage folder with over 100,000 sorted fonts in group sub-folders, so I 
know a little about this subject.


Remember, the more fonts you have in the .font folder, the larger the 
list and the longer it takes to scroll down it do choose the font you 
want/need to use within LibreOffice.

So here goes.

Adding fonts to the windows version of LE is simple, just add them to the
"c:/windows/fonts" folder (or install via control panel), and you can use
them in LE just as in any other applications.
But in Linux (I'm using Linux Mint 11 x64) I can't figure out how to get it
done.

*what I have tried:*
1) copied the fonts to "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/windows-fonts", updated
the font cache doing sudo fc-cache -fv, they show up using fc-list, but they
didn't show up in LibreOffice.
2) opened the font in font viewer and clicked install, same as above.

I'd prefer a solution that can be automated (I'm about to install hundreds
of fonts), but everything is appreciated.

Thank you!

Eh? Just copy into the Fonts folder - just like you do in Windows. No 
need to edit anything...

Sounds like the official Firefox shortening, Fx (while many people use
Ff).

I've been using LibO, but, BTW, do we have some official shortening?

Hi :)
Is this something to do with "Paths"?  Can it be fixed in
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths?

Errr is LE being used to refer to LibreOffice?  Is it used in the French lists

You can use Synaptic, it may be called Package Manager, to select the
fonts from the Ubuntu/Debian/Repositories to be installed. They be
installed so the system will see them. The other reference you can check
is the Ubuntu help and OpenOffice help. OOo is our older sibling and
they have extensive documentation.

Add them to /home//.fonts

Note the dot on .../.fonts, so its a hidden file. You see it on your home
