Re: CURSOR color & thickness change in LibreOffice Writer?

No, smurphos today I do not agree with you. A caret is very well defined, and its sibling the caron too: U+2038 ‸ CARET U+2041 ⁁ CARET INSERTION POINT U+2380 ⎀ INSERTION SYMBOL U+005E ^ CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT As a mark for proofreadings, I also remember it as not very pleasant ... As a caron, the caret s...

Re: CARAT color & thickness change in LibreOffice Writer?

Additionally, I have a dark theme setup which makes the paper color on my LibreOffice Writer document display as gray. Sorry, that's nonsense. I also use a dark theme, but that doesn't affect the background of the workspace in LibreOffice. From light gray 5 to light gray 1 are all visible, whereas ...

Hallo Peter+Mint ich habe sowohl grosse Mac-Tastaturen als auch MacBooks mit verschiedenen Linuxen benutzt - das war soweit immer zu Bewerkstelligen, also dass die Zeichen ausgegeben wurden, die ich auch auf der Tastatur gedrückt hatte.

Re: Help Installing On A Mid-2007 MacBook

absque fenestris, eventually, with a lot of digging, I found that apparently this Mac has a 32-bit EFI? and that causes the issue. I used the modified Mint 20 Cinnamon from https://mattgadient.com/linux-dvd-images-and-how-to-for-32-bit-efi-macs-late-2006-models/ and it installed and is up and runni...

Re: Actually tried Windows 10 ...

I'm really glad to be retired. No more having to explain to customers how their Windows or Mac works. No more having to explain how the Adobe Suite, MS Office from 1998 to I don't know, 360° or 2022 or whatever it's called, works. Or where to turn on the printer. I can now finally, quite relaxed fin...

Re: Libre Office Writer - matching font on import.

I'm not sure what you're going to do with imported fonts from the web. In the different Linuxes the Firefox (and Vivaldi) defaults are like this: https://i.postimg.cc/kMjRGR1q/Firefox-Fonts.png The default for fonts in LibreOffice is also Linux Libertine O. Accordingly, I import what I see on the sc...

Mother Word does not give a shit, it handles images of any size.
LO Writer: if you right-click on the image and select the properties, you have an amazing number of setting options.

Well, I wouldn't be too far away from the assumed average age of 70. I've also done the hearing test: according to age, the treble slopes in a nice curve. And I even had a super-expensive hearing aid for a trial. Terrible! For example, putting glass down on metal or rattling cutlery in the sink. Nei...

You're welcome to chat about the plural of mice and all the rest of it, and how you're not able to define it.
But couldn't you open a separate topic?
