Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fonts: Not all installed fonts are listen at font selection drop list

Hi :)
Probably one of you guys did a "Reply to" and then re-wrote the subject-line to ask a new question. 
 Either that or someone is doing too much typing and possibly ill or hazy and getting confused 
about which thread they were writing too when they wrote that first line.  Since Tim is quite 
prolific here my money would be on him.  If it's the subject-line issue then i would be betting on 
Alon.  


It is much nicer if people can start a new thread for a new question by
writing their own fresh email and copy&pasting the address of the
Users List into the "To" field instead of accidentally hijacking a
thread.  

Confusion and newness happens [shrugs] no big deal.  Hopefully all of us are new at something and 
learning new tricks.  :)  So, don't worry either way around.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I am confused.
I am the original poster... and the one who made the spelling thank
you for draw my attention to this, sorry about that.
As far as I am concerned with fixed Gentoo ebuild that installs the
*.afm the type1 culmus fonts are shown in the drop down and working.
