I transferred a txt.rtf file via Dropbox to my KDE computer. The whole thing is text. It has larger centered titles on pages that were created in a file with a continuous format, meaning no pages just one long page.
The font was Tahoma. The centered larger fonts were at 25 and the body of the text were set to 16.
The file was created in both the Apple Text Edit program and Open Office. There were differences but Open Office had Tahoma.
In Libre Office it recognized Tahoma if I highlighted a word but it has no Tahoma in its font selection menu. When I say recognized I mean that the name Tahoma would appear in the font name window.
For a reason unknown to me the last few pages of the document have a different font. When highlighting text in that area the name of the font does not appear in the font box. I don't know which font it is and I really don't want it. I want all of the text to be in Tahoma.
So I need two things. Is there a font in Libre Office that is identical to Tahoma but with a different name? With that I can just select it and move on.
The other thing I need to do is change the existing text that is not correct to the Tahoma font or its equivalent.
If I highlight all of that text with the larger text and smaller text together, I fear that when I select the new font name that all of the text will be converted to just one size and not keep the large and small fonts intact.
There are over 150 pages with the incorrect font. Many of them have different sized letters.
This is the first thing to fix with Libre Office. I'll ask about the others later. This is my first time using it and I'm not really impressed. It is very slow to highlight things and to react to inputs other than typing. When altering the font size of highlighted text it barely responds or doesn't respond. Is this common for this application?
I will continue to share and modify documents with different computers and the files are stored in Dropbox. That is how I transfer files and collaborate on files. This particular file will also continue to be added to by both OSs. I need a solution for this other than switching to Open Office. I've read that Libre Office is supposed to be an improvement.
Let me know what can be done.
Thank you.
