Re: [libreoffice-users] Font problem

Good morning,

Thanks for your kind and quick reply.
I tried to put the missing fonts in ~/.fonts but LO was not able to see
them.
Yes, the fonts are type1 fonts.

Following your suggestion about type1 fonts, I have been searching for the
equivalent fonts in truetype (especially the famous (for scientists) fonts
from ams).
Such fonts are available here
http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/CTAN/help/Catalogue/entries/bakoma-fonts.html
I put them in "usr/share/fonts/truetype" then "sudo fc-cache -v -f" and PIM
PAM (as they say here in Spain) it works now.
I can now finish my congress presentation in extremis.
I still don't understand why the type1 did not work.
Anyway, your suggestion helped me a lot.
If I see you one day, I should pay your a beer.

Many thanks. Bye.
