Hi list, I'm using OpenOffice 1.1.4 Linux (Slackware 10.0) for converting powerpoint presentations into Flash through a software using OO as backend. However, the fonts in the output file get VERY small every time, and a little bit screwed (bad appearance, incorrect spacing between chars, etc). I tried to use OpenOffice (same version) in a Windows machine I have, and it exported just fine.
When looking around for a solution, I found this page (http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html#7). The PDF issues mentioned seem to be the same that's been happening in my case. The page says that the printer driver I have available is responsible for embedding the fonts. But how can I locate them and replace? I have ESP Ghostscript installed... if that's any good. Any ideas? Does anybody use another distro and is willing to test it for me to see what happens? Thanks in advance. ps: there's a similar solution in this page (http://www.fileformat.info/convert/doc/ppt2swf.htm). I mailed those guys and they said to me their server is a very old version of Red Hat. The same applies to the OpenOffice installation they have over there. -- Julio C.
