I created a presentation in Impress (3.1.1 from OOo, not from the repositories, on Fedora 11, x86_64) in which I used the fonts Bitstream Vera Sans Regular and Bold. When I export to PDF all text appears as just blank boxes for the letters. I get the same view of the PDF with Adobe Reader, Okular, Evince, and a couple other PDF viewers that I have installed.
Then I tried printing to file. I did this several times using different printer drivers (I have six Postscript printers installed, including one with Adobe PS Level 3). When I open the .ps file I find that the text appears, but somehow Times was substituted for the Bitstream Vera Sans. And the text appeared without font metrics. Also all color was converted to grayscale, even though one of the printers is full color. If I print to paper on a plain Laserjet using the PCL driver all the text prints, but without font metrics, and only the bold prints in Vera Sans; somehow Times was substituted for the regular. If I print to the same printer using the (genuine Adobe) Postscript driver all the text prints, but Courier regular was substituted for both fonts; and again without font metrics. I verified that Bitstream Vera Sans regular and bold are properly installed. I did this by opening Scribus and setting some type with the Vera Sans fonts. Scribus is a layout app that will never substitute a font. I also used Fontmatrix to verify that the fonts are correctly installed. I am out of ideas. Any suggestions are welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
