I have Open Office 2.2 installed on my home computer, a Gateway running Ubuntu feisty, and on my work laptop running Win XP, and the same problem appears on both. In Writer, when I select "Times New Roman" as the font, what I actually get is a "broken" font -- one that looks like a beat up old typewriter. This also happens if I open a document that was created on another system, on on the same system but using another word processor and the document has Times New Roman as one of the fonts -- it appears as this broken font.
I've tried doing the same thing in KWord and LeafPad and the Times New Roman in those applications looks fine. I have browsed around the installed fonts on the Ubuntu machine using the font viewer but I can't seem to find the offending broken font that's masquerading as Times New Roman. Has this happened to anyone else? How do I find and remove this bogus font? If it isn't already obvious, I am not ver adept at debugging my computer, so a clear simple explanation would be much appreciated. Thanks! Theron
