Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fonts in LO under MacOSX

Salut, Alex,

thanks for Your quick reply - yes, it seems erratic to me, too, and yes, the Frutiger-Fonts appear 
in other Mac apps as well as in the systemwide useable fontmenu (usually opens at cmd+t)...

Any ideas how to fix that erratic prob?

Merci beaucoup,

Steffen
