[users] Forcing OOo To See Fonts and Importing RTG Images

2010-10-02 Thread James Greenidge


Greetings:

I am using a 1.25Hz eMac running 10.4.11 and OOo 3.2. I find when I 
import RTF files from another OOo machine that often OOo substitutes a 
font that it seems it can't find, even though if I go into OOo's font 
menu it's there ready to be installed. I'm wondering whether this might 
have to do with how some public domain fonts are recognized by OOo, and 
whether the same font but which were downloaded from different web 
locations (and creator?) are recognized as being different fonts by OOo.


Secondly, (at least with Macs) I found that OOo can import RTF documents 
with images provided it's a cut-and-pasted uncompressed PICT or TIFF 
file. For some reason simply inserting image files into the RTF doc 
alters it (and maybe compresses?) it such that OOo won't pick it up. 
Sadly though, OOo can't export images along with OOo RTF documents.

[users] LibreOffice - adoption

2010-10-02 Thread AG

Hi all

Given Novell's recent buy-out of Sun Microsystems, the subsequent loss 
of OOo and OpenSolaris it is time to shift towards LibreOffice to show 
support for the history of OOo and the ethos of open source software.


Having just recently installed the 3.3 beta version for Debian testing, 
I'm pleased to be able to report a clean bill of health, a vibrant 
community and a stable code-base.


Making the switch is quite straight forward.  Just follow the 
instructions at the document foundation 
http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/biz-enterprise/366193:libreoffice-and-document-foundation-announced 
as well as described here http://www.documentfoundation.org/.


Support the open source philosophy that gave us all OOo in the first place.

Oracle will give warning before they pull the rug out (they did with 
OpenSolaris) which would then give ample opportunity to fork to a new 
version.

I stand corrected (and apologize, it does look like the OpenOffice.org

To answer another question, Libre Office will be from the same code base

Re: [users] Re: TOC and PDF export problem [SOLVED, sort of]

2010-10-02 Thread Hal Vaughan
Barry,

I'm going try to answer kindly and respond with respect, but I will say that 
even doing that is more than what you have done in your responses.  Threatening 
people does not always help and often just makes things worse.

This is the OpenOffice mailing list.  If you are receiving emails from this 
list, then it is because you are, somehow, subscribed to the list.  If you read 
the messages, at the bottom are the instructions to unsubscribe.  If you read 
those and do what they say, you won't get more emails from us.

As to reporting anyone to the FCC, I understand the anger that leads to one 
making threats, but, in this case, there is no benefit to making that threat.  
This list is made up of mostly volunteers and follows any rules or even 
suggested rules, for email lists.  The people in charge are very careful about 
that.  You are not dealing with a company, like Microsoft or Apple, so there 
really isn't anyone here that will be hurt by such a report.

But since your goal seems to be to get no more emails, then follow the 
instructions to unsubscribe at the bottom of the emails you receive.

If that doesn't work, and you show respect for others instead of using 
profanity, perhaps people will find it in their hearts to show you the kindness 
of helping you to the limit of their ability.


Hal

You have joined, subscribed to, a mailing list. This is run by a server which 
sends every email addressed to the list, to everybody that is subscribed - 
including you.

To unsubscribe from this list *you* must send an empty email to the following 
email address which i have tried to make clickable: 
MAILTO:users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org
The server will then automatically reply in an email with instructions which 
*must* be followed to complete the process.

Though i understand your frustration, attempting to report anybody will make 
you look like an idiot for joining the mailing list without knowing what it 
was. I will however do my best to ensure that nobody on the list reports your 
abuse of list members to the company you have your email address with. This 
company, if your abuse was reported, would probably be obliged to disable 
your email address to prevent you from abusing others in future.

Guys, please go easy on Barry, for he knows not what he does. His rudeness was 
born of frustration.
