It seems there are _two_ versions of msttcorefonts extant carrying an identical version number. One is a tarball and one is an rpm, and the rpm seems to be broken although I compared them and they compared very well except the rpm was smaller as it was missing 2 fonts that were in the M$ tarball. I was never able to make them work, and my system was largely hosed, when I had installed the version (same version number IIRC) that is available through the yum/smart/rpm repositories after installing FC6 here. Knowing I had previously made it work very well on an FC2 system, I bit the bullet and went to the M$ site and downloaded their version and installed it. It worked flawlessly, and still is right now. I also have half a gigabyte of fancy fonts from goldenweb.it, all of which work very nicely indeed in OOo. >On 8/12/07, Paul Smith <phhs80@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On 8/12/07, Chris Mohler <cr33dog@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> > > Some web pages will not let you have copyable text from the resultant >> > > pdf, the one you chose does of course.
