Re: Fonts display problem in Libre Office for Linux

Hi Akira,

Thanks for your reply. The problem was actually corrupted odg documents that came from a Windows 7 system. Probably the media used to transfer the data was buggy. Sorry about that.

Starting again with Libre Office Version: 5.0.1.2 under Linux, everything works fine and the documents display normally. Renaming or deleting the corrupted documents and doing them again solved my problem.

For the record, the corrupted documents also looked bad under Windows, of course, once I moved them into the directory where Windows 10 VM could open them.

I think I got into trouble with the Recent Documents feature of Libre Office because the mouse has to be held over the document name for a few moments before showing which directory the document is in, which can obviously lead to confusion if you open another document, not the one you think you are opening.

Best regards,
John

Apparently it allows type only on the text box. I guess the place
where you were trying to edit was the outside of the text box. you
could add a text box where you want to add some text on that doc.

If the behavior is different on Windows say, that may be a good idea
to compare the version on Fedora and Windows.
Anyway it looks like not a font issue to me.

Hi everyone,

This is a request for help which might be font-related.

I switched to Fedora recently after finding Fedora 22 was the only Linux
distribution that properly supported one of our computer support customer's
Canon LBP-1210 laser printer (which is not supported by Microsoft Windows
64-bit, so our customer switched from Microsoft Windows to Fedora 22
64-bit.)

There is a problem with Libre Office on Linux, but not on Microsoft Windows.
If you open the attached PDF in LibreOffice Draw (to edit the PDF), type
runs out to the right of the document under Linux but displays perfectly
under Windows. Yet the PDF Viewer on Fedora 22 displays the same PDF
properly.

I am running Libre Office 5.0.1 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit in an Oracle VM
under Fedora 22 Linux, and Libre Office Draw displays the attached PDF
properly.  But with Libre Office Draw on Fedora 22, type runs out the right
side of the document making edits almost impossible.  The same thing
happened with the previous version of Libre Office, from which I take it
that this is a font display problem in Libre Office under Linux.

I installed Fedy and Windows fonts, but that did not help.

I'd like to be able to use Libre Office on Fedora without resorting to
running Windows 10, if possible. Is there a simple solution to this problem?

Regards,
John
