I cannot reproduce this. I test thorndale in StarOffice 8 (basically OOo 2.3.1) and OOo 2.4.0 - place them side-by-side and thorndale shows up properly as a serif font. I'd suggest updating your system font cache: sudo fc-cache -f -v fc-cache --help [for info] That will pick up any stray fonts from your various installations. Note: I am running OOo 7.10 (Gutsy) and 8.04 (Hardy). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
