Re: [libreoffice-users] RE: [Libreoffice] Word doesn't see symbols - Substituting Fonts

Hi :)
Many OOo Extensions just work in LO as is.  A few might need 'porting' and 
others just need to make it clear that they work on LO too.  I think the whole 
lot need to be moved to a safer server or mirrored or whatever.  Allegedly the 
extensions were on an independent website but just how independent seems to be 
questionable.  Perhaps ODFauthors might be a better (more independent) place 
than TDF or perhaps mirrored on both if possible.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Substituting Fonts

There used to be a plugin for OO which identified all missing fonts for
a document.  Perhaps it was never ported to LO.
