Operation Manual

Graphics output – Use OpenGL for all rendering
Enables and disables the use of the 3D graphics language OpenGL. Not supported on all
operating systems and LibreOffice distributions.
Menu – icons in menus
Causes icons as well as words to be visible in menus.
Font Lists – Show preview of fonts
Causes the font list to look like Figure 17, Left, with the font names shown as an example of
the font; with the option deselected, the font list shows only the font names, not their
formatting (Figure 17, Right). The fonts you will see listed are those that are installed on your
system.
Fonts which are tuned for use with a specific script, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Malayalam, and
so on, now show an additional preview of some sample text in the target script.

Font Lists – Show font history
Causes the last five fonts you have assigned to the current document to be displayed at the
top of the font list. Otherwise fonts are shown in alphabetical order.
Selection – Transparency
Determines the appearance of selected text or graphics, which appear on a shaded
background. To make the shaded background more or less dark, increase or decrease the
Transparency setting.
If you prefer selected material to appear in reversed color (typically white text on a black
background), deselect this option.
Print options
On the LibreOffice – Print page, set the print options to suit your default printer and your most
common printing method. Most of these options should be self-explanatory.
The option PDF as Standard Print Job Format is not available on Windows. Select this option to
change the internal print job format from a Postscript document description to a PDF description.
This format has a number of advantages over Postscript. For more information, see
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/pdf_as_standard_print_job_format
Deselecting this option reverts to the Postscript document workflow system.
