Re: [opensuse] "suddenly" wrong fonts in OpenOffice

Hello all,

Today I wanted to use OpenOffice again after a while and now some of my
special Type1 fonts (bought at adobe) don't work in OpenOffice anymore,
they seem to be substituted by just a simple standard font.

I googled, tried several things:
- spadmin:
tried as user and as root, using just links or with coping the files, no
success
- installed some fonts in HOME/.fonts using KControl, no success
- checked that there is no font substitution checked in OOo's
Menu "Options"... and in spadmin's printer setup...
- uninstalled the Suse's OpenOffice, downloaded and installed the rpm from
the openoffice site, no success
- uninstalled this again and installed the latest version from Suse Build
service via Yast, no success...

Konqueror (and KControl, too) show the affected fonts correctly, just
OpenOffice doesn't.

The problem affects just a few fonts - the ones I need...
Of course I had several updates on my system as I keep it up-to-date and I
don't know, since when this problem occurs, could be a day or three weeks?

Any ideas? Thanks.

You could try to stop OOo and remove $HOME/.ooo-2.0/user/psprint/pspfontcache.
I am afraid that it won't help but it is worth try.

Also could you please report it into bugzilla.novell.com, so we could track it
there down with all the relevant people in CC?
