font longevity questions.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good morning,

I have about 240 microsoft office word 2010 documents, all 9+ years old, that I'm converting to LibreOffice Writer in Fedora-35.  I'm having to do this in 3 steps:

1. In windows-7, content is copied from the word files to Writer files.  Tweaks are made to line spacing in tables.  The word documents use two fonts: Times New Roman (various sizes; sometimes regular, sometimes italic, sometimes bold), and Vivaldi.  Writer in windows-7 seems to support all the fonts used in the word documents.

2. Writer files are copied to my Fedora workstation.

Unfortunately, neither Times New Roman nor Vivaldi are available in Fedora-35.  So I need a step 3: to convert the fonts to choices that are available in Fedora-35, and are expected to be available for a long time to come.  It's that last condition that I need help with.  It's happened to me in the past that a font that I used in Writer (in Fedora) ceased to be available, so I changed it to the closest match that was available.  Then that font ceased to be available.  So before I start step 3 with them 240ish Writer files, how do I know which fonts are likely to be permanent or supported in Fedora for many years, and which are most vulnerable to being sunset sooner rather than later?

By the way, why do so many fonts show up twice in the font selection tools?

Thank-you in advance.
