I need to have my openoffice 2 work with Courier 10 Pitch.
The document also uses Courier New and that works fine.
(I can't upgrade to openoffice 3 as the document formatting is broken with
that and we can't reformat the 500+ slides before upcoming lectures. So
need to stay with openoffice 2 for now.)
My system has a Courier 10 Pitch:
$ fc-list : family file | grep -i courier | grep -i pitch
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0583bt_.pfb: Courier 10 Pitch
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0582bt_.pfb: Courier 10 Pitch
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0611bt_.pfb: Courier 10 Pitch
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0419bt_.pfb: Courier 10 Pitch
(But fc-list doesn't show any Courier New which is interesting since that
one does work for me.)
openoffice 2 doesn't use fontconfig (as far as I understand).
I see openoffice 2 is bundled with many fonts / types including
LiberationMono-Regular.ttf which I believe provides my "Courier New".
What tools can I use to look at a TTF, afm, or other files to see what
they provide?
How can I get Courier 10 Pitch to be recognized with openoffice 2?
My searches didn't help much ...
Thanks
