If I use an IGEL Etherminal to start remotely soffice everything works fine except the fonts (that are missing) like Times New Roman... When I type chars are invisible and huge. I just see the cursor moving. I had to change the default font to "courrier" or "helvetica". No message for missing font anywhere. soffice didn't try to replace the font by another... you have to do it yourself manually. HTH
Normally you get "Times" instead on "TimesNewRoman" on almost every X-platform since timesNewRoman" is a Windows font. Have a look in your Font Path. Another serif font is "Timmons" that comes along with OO. Instead of changing the default font, you might use the font replacement feature, if it is for display purpose only (and you don't intend to change the fonts in the documents). try Tools-Options->general-Font Replacement To be able to see a font, you have to have it installed locally. Please check this and comment.
Thanks for not commenting yet. Please comment.
Is ANYONE interested in a further investigation? If so, give me a hint. If not, this one will be closed as not reproducible. Thank you.
Remotly used fonts have to be also installed locally to be displayed.
