Re: [libreoffice-users] eastern font in new version

Hi Doug

Ah! sorry, to explain it's now referred to as a ROM, for the emulators. 
Whoever, has taken the code off the tapes/plugin cartridges/CD's etc and 
created a digital file with the extension .rom. This is now how the 
"games" are distributed for the emulators, no more hardware involved.

So the only place on today's modern hardware, where you plug the ROM in, 
is in the emulators folder. Just do a Google search for "Emulator game 
ROM's, and you'll understand what I am on about.

Regards

Andrew Brown
