Hi there,

yesterday I had to open a word file in Hebrew and Russian, but couldn't display it properly (if at all...). Is any Hebrew/Russian translator living in the UK or continental Europe who can tell me where I can get the fonts or whatever I need? (I imagine that if you are in Israel/Russia you would get the "correct" version of Office by default).
I wonder whether I might have the same problem in, say, Hindi or Japanese...

Thanks,

Andrea

Knowing the fonts... Oct 23, 2009

Hi,

doesn’t Word display a warning with the name(s) of the missing font(s)? If it doesn’t, try opening it with Pages (if you have it); I know Pages does it with its own documents when a font is missing, so maybe it will happen with Word files as well. Once you know the name of the font, you can purchase it from several sites:

http://www.linotype.com/

... and so on. In any case, the client should be able to provide the typefaces needed, or tell you their names. Well, I don’t know if that helped at all. I hope so.

Souldn't they be included? Oct 23, 2009

Hi Ángel,

I thought they should be included in Word as some people seem to have them.
Funnily enough, I can see the Russian and the Hebrew documents in NeoOffice...
