Well, my original wording was a guide, for me, and with my Dyslexia and 
stroke it is not easy for me to speak as plainly as I need and to get 
out what I really wanted to say.

Just to let you know, we need to make sure that everyone who is editing 
the files have the fonts.  I cannot find the fonts that are defaulted 
for LibreOffice, like I emailed Drew about.  I cannot find where I 
downloaded them to, so I need new copies.  So I could use the "Vegur" 
fonts, or a link to them.

I know that this was beaten to death on a thread, but I was talking to a 
printer today and he corrected my pronunciation of LibreOffice.  His 
family was from Germany [plus other European countries] and he told me 
what "Libre" came from and such so it was to be pronounced such-and-such.

He asked me about are we selling the product, and I told him what the 
near and extended future, for NA at least.  I also told him that 
different people in different regions will be having the DVD produced 
"locally" and will be either handing them out at events or will be 
responsible for a web based ordering of a low costing DVD copy of the DVD.

I also told him when we had the finalized "paper" copy made, I would be 
having him print some up for me.  They would be much better quality than 
my old color printers.  Also they can be cut down to the proper size, 
better than I could do with my single sheet cutter.
