Re: [users] wrong line spacing with several fonts
Hi Frank, first, thank you for your answer. Frank Cox schrieb: [...] XXL? There's your problem. Your fonts are all Double-Extra-Large! *tee hee* Seriously, I haven't seen your problem on any of my computers or any of my clients' machines, all of which run various versions of Fedora Linux. If I only use the system fonts, I've not any problem, too. The problem only arises with some of the installed fonts from the named font CD. Some fonts, especially the Ten Thousand Fonts for $4.99 kind, are pretty crappy. Scribus will usually reject them but OpenOffice seems to try to use them and the results can be less than spectacular when that happens. The softmaker Font CDs are well known here in Germany. OK, they are very cheap (approx. 75$), but the quality should satisfy SOHO users. bye Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Brian, thank you for your answer!

I *know* that this is not the solution you want - yes, really: I do! :-) But you can control the line spacing in Writer quite flexibly. Right-click | Line Spacing gives you only Single, 1.5 lines, and Double. But if you go to the Indents Spacing tab on either the paragraph formatting or the paragraph style (different effects, of course), you will see a larger choice under Line spacing. You can specify a Fixed spacing in any appropriate unit. And if you create a paragraph style to include your new font, you could set the spacing to suit. This could be a workaround. Yes, I think if I really want to use a font that shows the problem, I have to adjust the line spacing manually. On the other side, I'll try these fonts in scribus to see what happens. What I don't understand is that the fonts are aligned much better in OOo Draw as in Writer. I trust this helps.

[...] I suppose the next step would be for you to install a font of good quality that's not on your magic cd and then see if you still have the problem. You can download the Microsoft Core Fonts for the Web free of charge (and legally) from here: MS core fonts are installed on my system. There are not any problems with these fonts. [...] If the Microsoft Core Fonts work well and you don't see the problem when using them, then you have determined where the fault lies. OK, but why show the different programs (OOo Writer, OOo Draw, Scribus) the SoftMaker fonts with different line heights? If the problem continues, then you can continue to look for other causes. OK, I think I've to get in contact with SoftMaker to clear the problem.

[users] wrong line spacing with several fonts
Hello, now that I want to write some documentation in the near future I've installed some new fonts for use with OOo. When trying them out I've found that the line spacing of most of the new installed fonts is wrong (too large). The standard text editor in my system shows correct line spacing for all new installed fonts. The problem is strange in Writer, and far less extreme in Impress, for example when I insert text in a text frame, and it seems that the line spacing is really different for the various fonts. My System: OpenSUSE 10.2 with KDE, OOo 2.3., all tried fonts are TrueType fonts from the SoftMaker MegafontXXL CD. The line spacing in all System fonts is OK. The first thing I need to know is if this problem exists on other systems, too. So if there's someone here with the same problem, I would appreciate some response. I've searched the mailing list archives, but there are so many topics with subject line spacing I'm wondering if I've overseen some messages with the same problem description. Thank you for your help! bye Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
