Hi Charles

I wonder about this last statement, does this mean that if I download a 
copy of our documentation in .odt format, that if my font is missing 
from my machine that I will not be able to print a high quality version 
of that documentation. And worse, if I download a copy of a writer, 
impress file or draw and wish to print it off in its native file, that I 
would then have to hunt around and make sure that all of the necessary 
fonts used in a particular document would have to be installed on my 
machine so that I could get a high quality print from it?

Just wondering.

Cheers

Marc
