It’s always great that there is an alternative, although I use LibreOffice myself.
I used to love LO, but they just gave up on MS compatibility. Every time I opened anything the fonts would be off, or alignment would not work, or formatting was changed. If they’d fix all that I might switch back, but until then, OO all the way.
with microsoft fonts installed I actually found that libreoffice displayed the docx file I wanted to edit better than onlyoffice.
Now thats am interesting idea. Do you have a specific method for doing this?
I’m not the guy you replied to, but MS fonts are kinda free to download. Not free enough they can just put them into a package but there’s a defined method for downloading them. Most distros have a package that will automatically do this. On Debian it’s ttf-mscorefonts-installer which will download the fonts and install them when it gets to the configuration part of the package install. You can probably search for a similar package for your distro.
I use Debian, so that’s perfect. Thank you. I will probably still use OO for the web integration with Nextcloud, but always willing to try other methods.
I actually got them from my windows partition. It was very easy. I copied them from C:\Windows\Fonts to the .fonts folder in my home directory.
What is this… Wiiindooowws partitiiiion? … you speak of…
@fmstrat @fireshell I’ll personally use only office if needed (I have to use a pptx or docx file), but appart from that LO is perfect (and latex can be great too depending on what you’re doing)
