I don't have access to OSX, but the method described has always worked for me going back several versions on both Linux & Win. According to Jomali's post it also works on OSX. I have tried a number of configuration settings to to try and make it fail, but it continued to work as described I don't know if it will help you track down the issue, but am cc'ing you with an attached Writer document containing 2 Fontwork graphics. The top one uses the "Comic Sans MS" font and the lower one uses the "Liberation Sans" font. When you open it both Fontwork objects should display as per their underlying font shapes. If not, I can only guess that something? is adrift in your configuration settings. Sorry I can't be of more help. Regards Dave -- Please address any reply to the mailing list only.
