Re: [libreoffice-users] More fonts

Hi :)
I thought the problem was more likely to be about where the fonts are stored, if 
the OS is one of the Windows ones.  


Acquiring the fonts is probably not the issue unless it's a *nix.  For linux the 
installer puts the approx 6 core fonts in the right place so that all the apps 
can find them automatically.  They might not be the best examples of each font, 
i just don't know.  


Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

If you have trouble with those installer files, let me know.  I can send 
to use the needed files - off list to match your OS.  The one that Tom 
listed were for Linux.  There was some info later that stated that you 
cannot get those installer files any longer, but I do not know if it 
depends on the OS distro.  I have a collection of over 100,000 fonts, so 
if we cannot get the actual Linux installs, I can get you the closest 
ones out there at is for free.
