re. the problem with Abiword -- I dug back through my prior threads and found this:

Use this pet, it adds the Liberation fonts which use the same metrics as M$ ttfs..it fixed the problem with the rtf file mentioned earlier in this thread.

Is this patch included in the Abiword 2.6.3 included with Fatdog 112?

I do not recall that it solved the whole compatability problem but think it did allow me to at least view certain docs that I otherwise could not.

I also tried Textmaker before, and just tried it on my other PC, but it mishandles the "-" and some of the formatting.

Only the OO "swriter" word processor, using the Slyfaen font, consistently plays nicely with a document sent back and forth for editing with a MS Word user. If I could only get it to load under Fatdog 112!

I downloaded fatdog 111 & 112 today and installed as a HD full install. After installing, I noticed that the Puppy Package Dependency checker was no where to be found in the menus. I did notice that it was in the menu while running it live on the CD.

Can someone tell me how to correct this and get the dependency checker back? Also, I want to install XFCE 4.61. When I run XFCE, the panel from the other window manager keeps appearing. How do I stop this from happening? Is there a window manager switcher application that I can install, such as the way it gives the option in the menu list to switch between JWM and the other window manager?
