Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: how it this brochure printed?

Thanks Tom

I have been working on using the "inksaver" version, that was provided, 
with the text that I have been using.

The one problem I have is the "open sans condensed" font.  I only find 
light [300] and bold [700] versions.  It would look better to have a 
"normal weight" font of 500 to use for the printing.

I also am in the region that uses Letter size paper and that changes the 
margin/panel size for the brochure.  So I changed the size of the 
half-circle graphic used in the brochure.  I will post it as soon as I 
work a few "bugs" out, like why it is aligning differently within 
LO-Linux and LO-Windows versions even with the same fonts used installed 
on both systems.  Also any "borderless printing" needs to be done on a 
Windows system since the Linux drivers I have does not show that option 
for the printers that can do that.
