Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

Hi :)
Smart.  I guess most of us just hadn't thought of it.  

I think short-forms are quite cute and friendly but the marketing team asked us 
not to use them outside the lists to the wider world (personal emails and 
smaller groups can do what they want of course).  We need to get the full name 
out there apparently.  Normally a name change such as from OpenOffice to 
LibreOffice would be phased in using both names in conjunction with each other 
for about a year or more apparently otherwise there is a risk of losing and 
confusing people and losing the "Brand recognition".  


Early on the lists agreed to use LibO as the agreed shortening but to me that 
makes it sound like the thousands of library files i routinely ignore so a few 
of us started using LO as in "Lo and behold" (oops).  Fx is the term used 
backstage rather than writing "Special Effects".  Lx is for "electrics" or 
"electronics" although people tend to pronounce it "elec-trickery" or "Leccy" to 
try to be amusing or cute or express annoyance.  

Regards from
Tom :)

We are using computers, aren't we? So why shorten anything? I use a
text expansion tool called AutoKey (there are other ones for other
operating systems) to expand all my shortenings as I type, like ”oooo”
for ”OpenOffice.org”, ”lboo” for ”LibreOffice”, ”lboc” for
”LibreOffice Calc” and ”kregj” for:
