Re: [libreoffice-users] Same document and different count of sides under windows and linux libreoffice versions

Hi :)
Usually that is because the Windows side has Page settings set to "US Letter" whereas the Gnu&Linux 
size assumes the more international A4 as used by almost the entire rest of the world (incl 
Canada).  

You might find other programs in Windows also assume "US Letter" and to affect all of them you 
might find changing your "Locale and Regionalisation" settings might help.  Sometimes it is the 
printer that is set to "US Letter" and that might affect other machines that use the same printer.  
If you want to minimise the amount of change then in LibreOffice just go to 


Format - Page - Page (2nd tab) - top drop-down lets you change paper-size

However i suspect that might only affect just the 1 single document.  



Other reasons for the change is a change in the fonts used by Windows.  Tim of Kracked Press once 
gave me a very much nicer version of Arial and on the few machines where i installed that people 
started using Arial more only to be slightly disappointed when viewing their documents on other 
machines that just had the default Arial.  Gnu&Linux has a ton of fonts that are not installed by 
default on Windows (and similarly vice-versa) so changing OS means the document has to substitute 
for something similar but not quite the same.  It's a pain.  A lot of the fonts included by default 
in Windows have copyright notices but still allow you to install on Gnu&Linux.  It's piracy (unless 
you have fulfilled the terms&conditions) but a lot of people do it and it's rare to get prosecuted 
for it.  The Gnu&Linux fonts use "copyleft" (such as Creative Commons "CC-by-SA") and even 
encourages you to install anywhere you like.  


Regards from 

Tom :)
