Unless you've explicitely specified "it must fit on X pages" somewhere (and current OO.o does not allow this) *nothing* will ensure its pagination does not change slightly over time. The first thing OO.o or Office do when loading a doc is to repaginate it, precisely because font sizes are not invariants. You want pixel or page-perfect rendering you export your doc as PDF with embedded fonts. Or you make OO.o implement fixed-number-of-pages scaling. The sad thing is people don't care about what you're asking - if they did word processing would not have rolled over DTP in the last decade. In a word processing context all you have is a text flow (as in free-flow).
People do care. I've heard this complaint before. It's not a concern when a 27 page document becomes a 28 page document, but when you want to have 1 page and suddenly that 1 page has become 2 pages and you're searching for what OS it last fit properly on, then it gets to be a nuisance. I have a C. Vitae that I can't edit in Fedora because it takes up 2 pages there but in Windows XP it will only take up 1 page, which is right on. I'd be happy with a set of fonts that work the same on all OSes, and then I'd stick with those. Times New Roman seems like a hassle now. Benjy

You write the document in Fedora with Fedora fonts you'll see if it displays correctly on windows. -- Nicolas Mailhot -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkSyjdsACgkQI2bVKDsp8g1pXACeLapvRO4pQPFbLZTMCtZSDhju 7PUAoPfX5DJiorK7LgnjBTzE3g139k96 =wQE1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
