Document properties, Fonts tab

FreeOffice: Embedding fonts is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

On the Fonts tab in the dialog box of the ribbon command File | Properties doc_prop_icon, you can embed the fonts that you used in a document into the document file.

Embedding fonts into a document file is useful when you are sharing a Textmaker file with others. To ensure that the fonts used in your document look exactly the same on your computer as on other devices, we recommend that you embed all fonts in the file.

If a file with embedded fonts is then opened on another computer, TextMaker will install all embedded fonts temporarily. After you exit TextMaker, they are automatically removed.

To embed fonts into a TextMaker file, proceed as follows:

1.Create or open the desired TextMaker file.
2.Choose the command File | Properties doc_prop_icon and switch to the Fonts tab.
3.The dialog box presents a list of all fonts that were used in the document. A checkbox is displayed in front of each font. Click to place a check mark in front of all fonts that you want to embed in the document.
Tip: You can use the Select all and Deselect all buttons to select or deselect all embeddable fonts at once.
4.Confirm with OK.
5.Save the file.

The selected fonts are now embedded into the document file.

Notes

Embedding fonts works with Microsoft Word documents in addition to TextMaker documents.

Some fonts generally do not allow users to embed them into documents. For such fonts, the checkbox for embedding is unavailable.

Many commercial fonts allow embedding, but not editing documents in these fonts. When you embed such fonts, a message will appear when the document is opened on a different computer. The user can then decide whether he wants to edit or print the document. If he chooses "Edit", the embedded fonts will not be available.

When sharing documents (for example, by e-mail), keep in mind that embedding fonts can significantly increase file size, especially when using fonts with large character sets (for example, Asian fonts).

System fonts like Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman or Symbol cannot be embedded. These fonts are available on every Windows system anyway.
