RE: When the pedal hits the metal...

[<karlp ourldsfamily com>]

Keep in mind that fonts in Linux cause strange things to margins also. To
check it out, run pine in gnome-terminal, then click on Settings and
Preferences, then the Browse button by the font. Change to another common
font and you'll see that strange things start happening to gnome-terminal.

Though I'm not sure, I suspect it's the same sort of thing, demonstrated
differently, in Star Office, too.

I'm not terribly pleased with the interpretation of fonts and lack the
skill to fix it at the font-metric level. I'm a relative newbie to
programming, however know my way around admin fairly well... Yes, I plan
to learn 'C' or Java some day... But being closer to 50 than 40 now may
put a damper on that.

I will say that I cannot remember receiving a file that I couldn't at least
open, but printing from Star Office didn't yield the same results as
printing from Word...... It was more than fonts. I had some problems with
margins and what not.....

May be a font thing.   I haven't had problems but the fonts I use are quite
common.
