No it is not an admission of defeat on the part of Macs.
It isn't a big deal to use LibreOffice, but my tidy mind would like Pages to handle it if possible.
However, you said that there is a possibility that Pages would get the pagination right if it had the correct font, so can I ask again if it is possible to download MS Sans Serif? There are other Microsoft fonts in OSX, so why not this one? I have googled for it without success. This is the kind of problem which helps put people off Macs. I call it a defeat because my Macs can't handle such a document without third party software or requesting the sender to do something which all the Windows members don't need. I don't feel it is appropriate to tell them about their obligations! Neither the sender nor the members are particularly computer literate. You are right of course, in this day and age PDFs and Adobe Reader should be the norm.īut this is a voluntary organisation where a lot of work is done unpaid by a few people. Maybe I can see it on the senders part thoguh. You can open in Preview, PC user have to get Adobe reader but they usually already have it on their computers.
#Microsoft sans serif fonts pdf#
You have to ask for a pdf version at least. The reader shouldn't be the one to adjust to the senders restricted view on which format or font to use. My strong view is that the Sender has the obligation to make sure everyone who he/she wants to read the bulletin, should use a format or supply with alternatives, to make sure it can be read. It depends on which features used when creating the document. It might or might not get the pagination wrong.
