Description alex.thurgood 2003-05-25 20:19:52 UTC 
The screen fonts in beta2 have become terrible again for some of the fonts that
were perfectly antialiased in beta 1. Screenshots to come.

this is probably a gsl issue not sw issue, changing
Comment 4 christof.pintaske 2003-05-27 13:18:42 UTC 
cp->pl: confirmed, the OOo does not find the URW fonts. Duplicate to
the thingy with 'not finding afm when located in the same directory as
pfb'. Please enter the according issue id.

Errm, I 've just checked out issue 12936, but I don't see what the
relationship is.

Reopened issue.
Comment 8 philipp.lohmann 2003-05-27 14:08:05 UTC 
pl->cp: you said the afm file of URW files was not found; this would
lead to them not being used but normal X fonts (=ugly) instead. Am i
right in second guessing your original reasoning :-) ?
Comment 9 christof.pintaske 2003-05-27 14:25:59 UTC 
yep, the usage of Type1 fonts is effectively blocked by issue 12936.
This affects the usage of the URW fonts that serve as Helvetica,
Times, Courier, ... As you can see from your screenshot Antialiasing
works in the UI. So it simply works. But the document font (which is
Helvetica) doesn't show up antialiased. Just have a look at the
share/psprint/pspfontcache (or user/psprint/psp...) and check which
fonts are available in your beta1 and in your beta2 installation.

Comment 10 alex.thurgood 2003-05-27 17:43:59 UTC 
Hmmm, Ok, but it says 12936 is fixed, verified and resolved in vcl10.
What is VCL10 ? What relation does this have to the current of future
releases ? 

Sorry if I'm asking questions that have obvious answers here, but I'm
not a developer, just a user trying to understand.

Alex.

vcl10 is geek term. It meens the fix is available in Sun internal
builds. It will be merged into the main trunc and becomes part of the
next OpenOffice 1.1 build.
