in the Name box, then click the Add button. A small box showing the new color is added to the
Color table.
Another way to define or alter colors is through the Colors page of the Area dialog, where you can
also save and load palettes, a feature that is not possible here. In Calc, draw a temporary draw
object and use the context menu of this object to open the Area dialog. If you load a palette in one
component of LibreOffice, it is only active in that component; the other components keep their own
palettes.
Font options
You can define replacements for any fonts that might appear in your documents. If you receive
from someone else a document containing fonts that you do not have on your system, LibreOffice
will substitute fonts for those it does not find. You might prefer to specify a different font from the
one that the program chooses.
Figure 22: Defining a font to be substituted for another font
On the LibreOffice – Fonts page:
1) Select the Apply Replacement Table option.
2) Select or type the name of the font to be replaced in the Font box. (If you do not have this
font on your system, it will not appear in the drop-down list in this box, so you need to type
it in.)
3) In the Replace with box, select a suitable font from the drop-down list of fonts installed on
your computer.
4) The checkmark to the right of the Replace with box turns green. Click on this checkmark.
A row of information now appears in the larger box below the input boxes. Select Always to
replace the font, even if the original font is installed on your system. Select Screen only to
replace the screen font only and never replace the font for printing. The results of
combining these selections are given in Table 2.
5) In the bottom section of the page, you can change the typeface and size of the font used to
display source code such as HTML and Basic (in macros).
