Description simonbr 2003-03-25 09:28:48 UTC 
Every time I install a new version of OpenOffice.org on Windows I get the 
dialog message  "The file opens___.ttf already exists in 
folder "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts" - Replace the existing file?

For example, installing 1.1 Beta, the existing file is 100 kB Modified 
Wednesday 15 january 2003; new file 54 kB last modified Tuesday 4 march 2003. 

I am not sure if it also happens or not on a system that an older version of 
OOo had not been installed on. 

If I select Yes, the installation proceeds normally, so it's a nuisance rather 
than a serious problem, but if it could be handled without user intervention it 
would be more convenient and also give a better impression.

We won't suppress this overwrite warning because it might delete some
important files/fonts. For example: for StarOffice it might delete a
user font with the same name as a StarOffice font. If the user has
bought a font he wouldn't be amused to findout that StarOffice/OOo has
overwritten this font without request.

Not a bug.
