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 :)

Since 'liberation serif' is a font that most people outside of the
LO/Linux world would not be using, I think you should look into a more
common font used by publishing houses.  I would look into changing the
fonts used and see which one works best for your needs. If you are
dealing with a publisher, ask which fonts they use.

Is there a "cross-platform" font available, in both sans serif and serif
styles?

Are you asking if there is one font that is installed on most Windows,
MacOSX, and Linux OS installs?  Or are you asking if there is a font set
that can be installed on them?

Ideally yes, otherwise a font in gnu/linux that has equivalents in the
other systems.

The problem really is not with your systems, but what others have
installedon there.  If you want your document to work on their systems,
with the same font and such, you must embed the fonts in their documents.

Understood for pdf, but for odf it would be nice if a document could
be distributed for editing and the font remained unchanged.

AFAIK Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman, and Courier are available for both Linux and Windows. I 
do not know the equivalents for Mac.


There are thousands of fonts that can be found that can be installed on Windows, Linux, and 
MacOSX, the exact font and not worry about an equivalents.  The key would be dealing with fonts 
that are already installed by others, so they do not need to install a new one.

Here is a free site
http://www.1001freefonts.com/ <http://www.1001freefonts.com/>
They show Windows and Mac downloads, but both are TTF font formats.

So if MacOSX used TTF fonts, then the same font file can be used for Windows, Linux, and MacOSX.
