Bug#557631: openoffice.org should recommend ttf-mscorefonts-installer (not as an alternative)
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1:3.1.1-8
Severity: wishlist
openoffice.org currently has:
Recommends: openoffice.org-filter-binfilter, ttf-liberation | ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Due to the alternative, ttf-liberation gets installed by default, but
not ttf-mscorefonts-installer. However ttf-liberation is incomplete
(e.g. it doesn't have Trebuchet MS, which is often used in practice)
and missing fonts yield documents with incorrect page layout when
opened in OpenOffice. Unfortunately OpenOffice doesn't even warn the
user when some font is missing[*], so that users can get incorrect
documents without knowing what's wrong. That's why, IMHO, a full
recommendation of ttf-mscorefonts-installer would be important, at
least until upstream bug 93553 is fixed.
