coverup Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) I need to work with MS word documents, and consider using codeweaver crossover office. The demo installed fine, Word 2003 installed and runs OK but I have problem with some fonts. Some of the fonts look broken, in particular optima. I imported Windows fonts from Windows partition, but optima is not on the list, it seems I don't have it in Windows either. I tried installing plf's freetype, but this had no effect on how Word displays the text. Other fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial and Comic Sans MS look fine. Any help please?

scarecrow Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Optima is not a freely distributed MS font, I'm afraid. I believe its included in the Word 2003 installation, but I might be wrong (not using MS Office). Edited March 26, 2006 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 It's not on the pack of the freely distributed MS fonts either, so its usage without some sort licence isn't on the cards... sorry. PS: Just saw that this font family is copyrighted by Linotype GMBH, and unless I miss something there is no freely distributable version of it- only commercial ones.

Ah-ha, so the problem narrows down to font substitution ... Fixed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
