Laurent very nice FontOOo.sxw version 0.13
Hi, Okay with Laurent's FontOOo.sxw we now have a working prototype for the system! With all patches and changes in place a user can now do the following: File->AutoPilot->FontOOo Wizard... That will being up Laurent FontOOo.sxw document. From there you can select from 3 types of font sets: MS Core TrueType Fonts - select by font GhostScript/URW - select as a set (we will revise this to select by font) Other Fonts - for all other fonts (select by font) we find that work It will automatically download the MS core fonts from their site, run msfontextract on them and then install the fonts in ~/OpenOffice.org1.1.1/user/fonts/ Upon restart of OOo, the fonts.dir in that location is automatically updated and the nice MS fonts are available for use! We still have some work to do to clean things up, add translations, and get a good selection of fonts ready to go. But the prototype phase is now complete and it works! I will be filing an issue with external.openoffice.org to add all of these to the next OOo 1.1.X release so that easier cross-pltform font access becomes a reality for OOo users. Hi, i attach the FontOOo.sxw 0.2.1 version consider it as an alpha version tests are being performed ... When tests and wording Ok, i'll make a call for translators Be carefull, you need kevins msfontextracxt in your <ooo>/program directory to let this work Moreover, TTF fonts install are deactivated for windows users Laurent Created attachment 12895 [details]

FontOOo 0.5.1
Hi all, just few words to let you know that - last FontOOo 0.5.1 is out - i'll make a call for translators yo enhance language coverage of the installer The only mirror i use is a personal web site (may be slow) http://oooconv.free.fr/fontooo you'll find there msfontextract binaries for linux and windows The pack directory containing Off line packs I'll need, if the project is validated, to have a dedicated directory on stardiv mirror ... Thansk a lot Laurent Hi, Just setting the target to OOo 1.1.2 and verifying that msfontextract changes from Volker have been included so that building msfontextract now works on all platforms (WIN and Unix/Linux). I have the latest patches to add support for FontOOo Autopilot working and tested in my copy of the OOo 1.1.1 rc3 tree so mergeing them in for OOo 1.1.2 will not be a problem. The latest versions of everything are available for anyone review upon request (there are enough attachments to this issue already!). Kevin Hi all, last FontOOo version can be found at http://oooconv.free.fr/fontooo/ currently version 1.2.2 Feel free to ask for more details Laurent assigned to myself for approval. duplicate to 27924. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 27924 *** close issue |
