This sounds as if the Tamil fonts you have installed aren't installed in a location that 1.1.4 knows about. I'm english only here, and so far, OOo has been able to use all the extra fonts I've installed, in /root/.fonts, and they include some very nice cursive styles. But then this old fart runs as root, with at least 2 iptables based firewalls between my keyboard and the dsl modem. A side comment here. There seems to be a favorite place each application wants for its font storage. This isn't conducive IMO to haveing a smoothly functioning install. This isn't finger pointing at OOo in particular, but to apps that have their favorite fonts in general. I disagree heartily with the /home/.fonts location for special fonts when in a multiuser environment. Such fonts should IMO be available for all users. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
