@Mark Let me quote, since you obviously missed this part "Until and unless the deficiencies are fixed, ODF is not suitable as the native format for Gnumeric or any other spreadsheet." IMO without font embedding the same applies to files whose contents rely on the fonts (namely presentations and vector graphics). I'm not really concerned about vector graphics because I doubt Draw has any significant user base (there are several dedicated open source vector graphic programs) but Impress is the only Open Source alternative to PowerPoint under Windows. It would be a shame if it is limited by the file specifications. I can understand the limitations of cross-platform font support but removing it altogether means that even people using the same OS will not be able to use font embedding. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RE-tdf-discuss-Re-Font-Embedding-in-ODF-was-RE-ANN-ODF-1-2-Candidate-OASIS-Standard-Enters-60-Day-Pu-tp3110117p3140702.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+help@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
