[Tfug] OpenOffice file exports to PDF

[Charles R. Kiss]

Thanks for your responses.  I agree this problem is surprising.

I'm sing OpenOffice 2.4.1 on debian 2.6.26-2-amd64

I upgraded everything.

I forgot to mention that all errors are in Insert>Object>Formula, and not always at the same font, sometimes it's Deja Vu Condensed (Numbers) being replaced with garbage, sometimes it's Bitstream Vera Sans (Numbers) being replaced. But it always seems to be numbers (according to the Format>Font dialog box in Formula Mode in Writer), as in numerals, that are being replaced with garbage and not variables, ie. letters.

Also, the errors appear in different locations every time I export; sometimes there are
a few errors (3-6), some times there are several(6-9). But they always seem to be numerals being replaced with garbage.

Good idea. I print-to-file, and the postscript file has no errors, but the resolution is not so good; I run ps2pdf on it, this resolves the resolution; so it's very usable for now.  Thanks!  But would like to get more ideas.

Is there some font path/left over directory somewhere, maybe there was I time I unsuccessfully tried to add some fonts for gimp and it's causing some interference, a truetype font something somewhere.
