 |

If I open oowriter2 and using the default font type any word (like "test"), then I highlight it and make it bold the word becomes unreadable. It seems that the word now needs to be longer (because the letters are thicker) but the word takes up the same amount of space, so the letters are kind of on top of one another.
I started looking at my xorg.conf thinking this could be a font problem. I found that it was trying to load font directories in /usr/share/X11 which don't exist. I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to fonts, but I changed all of these to point to all of my font directories in /usr/share/fonts and I ran mkfontdir on those directories. Now when I look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log there seem to be fewer problems but at the end of the log file I can see this:
| Code: |
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/TTF, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/cyrillic, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/default, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/encodings, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/util, removing from list!

This however is only a subset of the font directories that I declared in the xorg.conf file.
Then I noticed in my drop-down list of fonts in oowriter2 there are only about 22 available.
What is causing this font error in Xorg?
Should I have more fonts available in oowriter2?
How can I fix this bold problem? (I'd like to be able to work on Word docs without rebooting into Winders)
Thanks! |
