Re: Fwd: Re: [libreoffice-users] character kerning

Hi :)
I am not sure what the French chap was saying.  Anyone know?  Can anyone help?  

The problem for me is trying to guess which fonts other people have on their machines.  I carefully 
installed the font called "Ubuntu" and it's derivatives (bold, and so on) on all my colleagues 
machine's and my various bosses.  So it's ok for use inside our offices and for printing but when i 
need to send it outside it gets tricky.  So i generally stick to the MS fonts that 'everyone' has 
for documents that are going out.  


It would be nice to have a slightly nicer version of some of them and the screen-fonts used in Xp 
and Win7 but although Tim at Kracked Press has tried to help me i still find it a bit of a pain as 
i have to walk around and install on each separate machine.  There must be some faster route but i 
don't know it yet.  


Regards from 

Tom :)
