Fonts and OO3Pro

[Mark R. Hilton]

Thanks to everyone who responded, either through the list or 
personally, to my question about using the Adobe fonts in applications 
other than the CS-Suite. Reading the EULA did not seem to preclude 
moving them on this machine, but I felt that using the Font Book route 
would presumably not even move them and, as I am the only user of this 
machine, making them accessible that way was even less likely to 
infringe the EULA.

I have yet to experiment with it. Garamond now appears in OO3, but in 
spite of being set at 12 point, it looks on screen more like 10 point 
in comparison with Didot, say. I'll have to try printing it out to see 
what happens.

As to Elliott Roper's comment on printing to PDF and placing in 
InDesign, I will try that to see if it is any better than going through 
RTF, but I am perfectly happy with RTF, and now that I can use Garamond 
in OO3, a lot of the niggles will be solved. On using OmniGraffle for 
producing the slides, I am sure that works very well, but I would have 
to do more work on the slides than I do in Keynote, which has a 
template that basically works brilliantly for me and makes the tweaking 
absolutely minimal. What's more, I have invested in Keynote and 
therefore need to use it to justify the expense :-) I also happen to 
like using it; though OG is another top-favourite application.

To Jan Erik Moström and Philippe Boulnois, who suggested printing 
multiple slides on one page, I had not known of that possibility as 
using Keynote for real is a new departure for me, as I have only 
recently returned to lecturing. However, I will stick with my current 
route, as that will then let me expand the outline in InDesign to 
become a more fully written up document. I know I could do that within 
OO3, but InDesign gives me full control over layout and appearance, 
which I like.

Thanks a lot.
