Description kuropka 2006-05-10 07:43:38 UTC 
I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature :-) but it is really confusing when
you have to collaborate with several people using different operating systems.

OpenOffice writer seems to format one and the same document differently on
different operating systems. From my experience on Linux a document needs
slightly less pages in the end in comparision to Windows. The following attached
examples will illustrate this.

Comment 4 michael.ruess 2006-05-10 07:59:20 UTC 
Though the fonts may have the same name on different systems (such as "Times New
Roman") they contain different information about the character size. TNR on
Linux is not the same as TNR on Windows. And if such a font is not available at
all (could be on certain Linux systems) OO has to take another font to replace it.
Unfortunarlely there is nothing OO could fix/enhance about this fact.
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2006-05-10 08:02:55 UTC 
Closed. OO displays the fonts with the values it gets from them.
Comment 6 kuropka 2006-05-10 08:41:28 UTC 
This is really striking, since I installed the original MS-Core-Fonts (in this
case Times New Roman) which means that the font files are the same like under
MS-Windows.

Reopened issue.
Comment 8 michael.ruess 2006-05-10 09:46:14 UTC 
MRU->ES: pls investigate. It seems to be kind of enexpected that the document
looks differently with the same core fonts.
Comment 9 michael.ruess 2006-09-25 15:54:23 UTC 
It seems to be the same problem as issue 61364.
Comment 10 eric.savary 2006-10-12 13:55:28 UTC 
ES->HDU: please have a look.

Sounds like issue 60945 which was fixed in CWS extleadfix (which will probably
get into SRC680_m191). For reasons of backward compatibility the document you
attached will not change even in the fixed release. You'll have to create a new
document and copy+paste from the old document.

No objections, so CLOSED
