I had to install AOOo in a parallel folder so that it doesn't end up polluting my file associations (long story) & found: Both AOOo AOO401m5(Build:9714) - Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:54 - Linux x86_64) and LO 4.1.3.2 act identical, at least on the linux versions. Both use a substitute font for Calibri Light Bold/Bold Italic. That is because only Calibri Light and Calibri Light Italic are in the fonts that I copied over from Win7. Calibri Bold and Bold Italic (calibriz.ttf) are available, so those fonts aren't substituted. You can verify by Format|Character and then selecting Calibre Light|Bold/Bold Light and notice the notification: "This font style will be simulated or the closest matching style will be used.". If you select only Claibri Light|Light/Light Italic the message will change to: "The same font will be used on both your printer and your screen". -- 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
