Indeed, the issue is that there are no option for smart quotes in Spanish and the auto option does just what I reported. I suppose then that I should request that smart quotes support is added to TextMaker. Edit: For not I have set smart quotes to work as in English, while manually using « ». This i...

Check out the Web font readme (webfont_readme.pdf), all you need is there

When language is set to Spanish, quoting marks are set incorrectly when they are nested. For example: «Antonio me dijo: «Vaya «cacharro» que tiene Julián»». That's wrong. The correct way would be: «Antonio me dijo: “Vaya ‘cacharro’ que tiene Julián”» Meaning that when you nest the order is: « "...

When saving to ODT, all formatting and styles applied to comments, including the default «comment text» is ignored and «Normal» is used instead.

Step to reproduce:

1. Add a comment to text
2. Add formatting or any style
3. Safe as ODT.
4. Close the file
5. Load the ODT file

Use: DATE(YYYY;MM;DD).
If that's what you are using or is displaying incorrectly then check your desktop localization or date/time formats.

As far as I know, no, there is not any look-a-like to Felix Titling.

Remember that when it comes to fonts there are no equivalents. There are look-a-likes but drop-in replacements are not a thing.

Felix Titling seems to be available for free, anyway. Not sure about terms of use, however.

Bazzlite is simply a themed Fedora. This is why it makes me think is a Discover/PackageKit issue and why he should install SMO using dnf. If the rpm is corrupted or something then we will know. Those UI's, like Discover usually, when there is an issue with the package simply give a generic error mes...

This seems to be an issue related to Linux Mint. Apparently their latest release had issues when people did an upgrade. It does not have anything todo with SoftMaker. If this was the case then people who use Ubuntu and Debian (the distributions that Mint uses as abase) would have been reporting issu...

Install it using the package manager via a terminal, not an UI like discover to know what the problem really is.

I do not think Basic Sans and Basic Roman are meant to be metrically compatible with Times New Roman and Arial. Most likely they are closer to Sans and Sans Serif than anything else.

My God, that has nothing to do with "trash the file." We aren't talking about the occasional page break issue, we are talking failure to load . The issue here is mostly about bad software. I make that statement as a software developer with 4 decades in the field developing software for Mi...

Depends on the uses. As the production of PDF from tiff is easier or has been considered for longer than with other image formats, I still prefer it as an intermediate file format. As regards long-time storage of photos, without compression, tiff is the closest to most of the proprietary raw-format...

Yes, a good editor should be able to adjust to the editorial style required by the client. In my experience, the "big three" in the United States are the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), the Associated Press (AP) style book, and the APA style book. True. But that's not the issue here. The ...

LibreOffice is a train wreck that got hit by a plane crash and is rolling downhill towards a daycare center at noon play. I agree, their UI is awful and their MS Office compatibility mediocre. Even on a machine with 20 physical core and 120 physical GB of RAM I could barely edit this book . For the...

I don't let anyone open/edit my TextMaker document file with an MS product. MS has a deliberate habit of trashing files that weren't created with their tools. I had to stop using LibreOffice because no two versions of LibreOffice could edit the same file without completely trashing it. The heroic e...
