Yes it is normal. RTF is an old format that dates back to 1987, and while the format has evolved over the years, as you can see on wikipedia, his inner workings are different to those of modern docx, otd and tmdx formats. RTF is a binary file format while docx, odt and tdmx are basically a bunch of ...

That is because, by default, Softmaker uses it's own dictionaries and not Hunspell. SM's dictionaries are a bit lacking and dated, at least the Spanish one is. You could configure TM to use hunspell instead of their built-in dictionaries. Go to: Settings => Language => Manage dictionaries. There you...

It is almost a year later, and I still do not have a font manager that I can use. In addition to Megafont NOW, I have also tried FontBase (Miguel's suggestion), Nexus Font, and High-Logic MainType. All have been recommended or suggested by various people who (allegedly) use them successfully. I am ...

I would like to know the current name of the old D690 Softmaker font. Any idea? As I said before D690 Roman is not available on Megafont NOW. An open-source alternative would be Lindel Hill . This typeface makes part of the League of Moveable Type. You can get it here . Or you could simply keep usi...

I would like to know the current name of the old D690 Softmaker font. Any idea? D690 is not included in a moderm form in Megafont 2019, as far as I can tell. You can take a look by yourself. Keep an eye for the following letters (it will help you to identify it, in case you want to give it a go): a...

Take a look at Cambridge and Cambridge Serial. Both are close matches to what you are looking for. Alternatively if you use Windows take a look at Centaur. Other non Megafont option: Bembo (There are some versions under public domain you can use). Notice: None of this options are stroke by stroke re...

Martin: I have encounter this issue since a few versions back. Is rather annoying when one is doing a distro update (zypper dup). One should not have to use sudo zypper -E zypper for security reasons. Why is necessary to preserve environment variables when upgrading SMO? The package should be agnost...

Big publishers usually use Garamond or a variations of it (Adobe Garamond, Garamond Nova, New Garamond...). Others use Baskerville, or even Times New Roman. Yes there are exceptions to the rule, but mostly all publishers use serif fonts for body text, mostly with oldstyle serifs (like Garamond) or T...

Thanks. This is an important improvement, even if TM does not support all extended features of ODT 1.3, it would mean that information would not be lost and would play nicer with LibreOffice and other applications that import/export to ODT. Not to mention that plenty of governments adopted ODT as th...

You can get Merriweather for free from google fonts if you wish. To be honest, to me, Merriweather looks like Times New Roman with modern serifs instead of transitional (as TNR have). I think the only reason this font is kind of popular is just because is free. If I where you I would stick with Mega...

When documents are exported to ODT, TM creates a ODT 1.0, instead the current 1.3 standard used by LibreOffice and other software relies on the ODT standard. Is also important to notice that the 1.3 release added lots of features. This can be seen in the document headers generated by TM: <office:doc...

TM has the ability to export to epub, however when it does, it exports to EPUB version 2. Modern readers all support version 3, and several retailers also suggest the use of version 3 over 2. EPUB3 has several advantages over EPUB2. For instance: footnotes and endnotes are handled in a more sensitiv...

I took the time to make a list of equivalents between MeganFont XXL and MegaFont Now 2019. It is incomplete and it may be not 100% accurate, but if it helps... here we go: XXL => Now A760 Roman => Alba B690 Script => Berliner Schreibschrift B591 Deco => Beale Charming B733 Deco => Bistro B790 Slab =...

I have noticed similar behavior with long documents since a few years ago. TM can be laggy when editing an existing document. The far you are from the end of the document the laggy it gets. I have reported this issue and some little fix has been done to improve it. I suppose there is more noticeable...

This have been something that has been asked for a long time and still, nothing. It does not bothers me, since I do not have any need for such feature, but if I needed it, quite frankly I would simply use Latex and do the entire paper there. You could give LibreOffice Math a try. There are also some...
