Re: [libreoffice-users] Font mishap

Hi :)
Yes, this is the best place to ask questions.  

Someone here is likely to be able to help with your font problems but it should be possible to find 
those fonts through a google search.  Also it should be possible for the person sending the 
document to send you a copy of their specific ttf files although many people are unlikely to know 
where their fonts are.  

In Ubuntu once you get a ttf file just double-click on it to get a preview and down at the bottom 
right should be a button to click to install the font.  

Regards from
Tom :)
