People, For debugging purposes, I need to know what is the largest point size on your system for fonts "Times" and "New Century Schoolbook" (here it's 34). -- Guillaume. http://www.telegraph-road.org |

Woops, good question :-). The simplest way is to start any font selector dialog (from whatever program that lets you select fonts, under KDE that's any text editor, or even kcontrol, Appaerence & Themes -> Fonts). Select the 'Time' font and see what is the max size the dialog is listing. -- Guillaume. http://www.telegraph-road.org |

I don't have any "Times" nor "New Century Schoolbook" fonts here. I have the "Times" (and "Serif") font families mapped to "Nimbus Roman No9 l", which has 64 points at least (but I can scale it to much more), so I can use this font name in many programs. I don't have any mappings for New Century Schoolbook (using /etc/fonts/*.conf), should I have one? Regards, Pedro |

Another question for you : how does printing look on your system ? Can you reproduce this bug : https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=957476&group_id=4932&atid=104932 ? Thx. -- Guillaume. http://www.telegraph-road.org |

I can reproduce that bug. I work with RG 0.9.9 checked out of cvs august 12. System is Debian Sarge from beginning of June with KDE 3.2.2. Printing produces junk with regards to text, no matter what printing method I use (direct to printer or pdf). To answer your question: the largest I can get Time and New Century Schoolbook in OO.org is 999.9. Which brings me to a question: is it possible to have multiple lyrics under one score? I'm trying to create single line scores with multiple verses under them.

I'm trying to create single line scores with multiple > verses under them. I don't think there's any mainstream way to do this, no. Looks like if you're very patient, you can fake it. I started with some lyrics entered into the lyric editor, then I added more words one by one with the Text tool (text events of type "Lyric") and then I used the new fine positioning feature to move these into position under the first line. Tedious doesn't begin to describe the process, and when I looked back in the lyric editor, all this text was in there. Instead of having one word per beat, it had everything from all three lines of the first measure in there. I have a strong feeling that this "feature" is only the side effect our liberal "OK, if you really want to do that, I'll let you do that" policy that allows users to add five tenutos or whatever. However, somewhat surprisingly, not only did nothing crash, but it actually survived a load/save cycle intact. So you can probably get there if you must, after a fashion, but I pity you if you have to do a lot of this. I can just about promise the Lilypond export will make an indecipherable mess of it all too. But anyway, wait until Chris gets back for a definitive answer. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <dmm...@us...> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ |

Oh, I have both "New Century Schoolbook" and "Times". They are non scalable fonts, and they don't show in KDE. I don't remember how I excluded those (very ugly) fonts from my desktop; I think it is related to the antialiasing feature being activated. Looking to the OOo font list, these fonts are there, as you can see in the attached image, compared with two good looking ones. They are also listed in xfontsel. Regards, Pedro |

Guillaume, I can get 64 point "Times New Roman", I don't have Times installed (which from previous experience I know is a different font). I can also get "Century Schoolbook L" in 64 pt. I am running Fedora and so also running all the new Fontconfig stuff for font handling.
