Re: What's the difference?

About 10 to 15 years ago, using OpenType instead TrueType was a big deal for one simple reason: TrueType didn't supported ligatures. Since a few years back this is no longer the case since both formats support ligatures plus some extra features rendering the whole TrueType vs OpenType meaningless. I...

Re: This File Format is not supported

When workign with sensitive information and/or time consuming, is always a good idea to keep plenty of backups (also keep a version on a usb, an external drive or whatever you fancy just in case). It is also good idea, when the file is getting way to big, to split (manually) the document.

Re: Link pasted from Devonthink not working

What is t he URL/Path that DEVONthink gives you? Does it starts with file:/// ? Please notice that linking text documents to files located in a DEVONthink database is an awful idea for several reasons: 1. DEVONthink databases use a proprietary format, meaning: you need DEVONthink to open the databas...

Re: SOFTMAKER ERROR MESSAGES EACH TIME I UPDATE LINUX

I am sorry, but what you mean by SMO?...Social Media Optimization, SQL Managament Object or something else? SMO = SoftMaker Office. As I said before, unless you can't run TextMaker, PlanMaker of Presentations you can safely ignore those messages. They are not errors per se. The script that is ran d...

Re: SOFTMAKER ERROR MESSAGES EACH TIME I UPDATE LINUX

More information is required. What distribution are you using? What method are you using for installing/updating SMO? Does this problem prevent you from using SMO? This issuer per see seems to be more a warning than an error. It is simply says that the script expected the .desktop files to start wit...

Re: Keyboard Input Methods don't work on Linux version of FreeOffice

Chromebook is not officially supported. This has been stated on this forum many times over the years and is well documented. Have you enabled extended support for Asian fonts?

Re: Basic Sans and Basic Roman

Yes. Both Basic Roman and Basic sans are meant to be metrically compatible with TNR and Arial. At least to a degree good enough for most people not to notice the small differences. As an alternative you could also take a look at the Liberation font family that also is intended to be metrically compa...

Re: Installation in Distrobox

Why are you troubling yourself by running SMO this way is beyond me, but take a look at this

Also keep in mind that the name of the binaries are not the ones you think they are. For TM is textmaker24 or textmakernx

Replace do not apply character styles

When using replace, format styles are not applied. (rev S1214.0518) Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new character style. In this case I sued the option: New from text. (See attached file) 2. Open the Replace dialog. Set it up as usual. 3. Replace text to apply new style. Character style is not appli...

Re: Can't make Ubuntu font bold in Linux Mint 22 ...

There are reasons as why a program should never fake bold or italic styles for a font. The short version is the one that was given by Martin: It looks ugly. The reality is that when a font family do not have a bold variation it means is not meant to have one. This can be due a design choice or a lim...

Re: How to configure FreeOffice's "Save As" to display the Dolphin page

The option is the last check box on the Appearance tab. However, for you it is greyed out, meaning it is unavailable. I only have FreeOffice 2021 in U.S. English. For me, that option is available. I'll have to load up FreeOffice 2024 and see if it has been disabled in the update. Hi, you're right. ...

Re: How to configure FreeOffice's "Save As" to display the Dolphin page

In KDE, both FreeOffice as well as SMOffice will default to its build-in file selector. Everywhere else, if the option suggested is ticked it will use gtk file dialog instead.
