IMHO, the safest fonts are Times New Roman and Arial (and perhaps Helvetica). You can get these fonts on a Linux machine easily. In Ubuntu, the package is called msttcorefonts. In any case, the most common fonts in students' report is Times or Times New Roman. If your students stick with these, I don't think you should face any problems. So to see what is the root case, please verify what fonts are those documents using. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
