Im a big fan of koffice an watching the development closely.) Koffice-specific Font ------- I am a owner of a big German Web Statistics provider (http://flashcounter.com) . I working on a satistic that analyse he adoption of Office Suites. To do so I analyse the Fonts (via CSS/JS-Tricks) installed on users computers. Most of the Office Suites have characteristic fonts, they install with them (e.g. "OpenSmybol" for OpenOffice and derivatives). Therefore i can determine if a specific Office Suite is installed by measuring them (with relatively small error range). It took me a long time to figure out the corret fonts for a number of office suites. For KOffice I figured out "Arev Sans" and "cmex10" but the latter is included in some other applications and the disribution is 5 times higher than the former. Do you think I can use "Arev Sans" as a predictable candidate? Since when is it included in Koffice. I did not find other significant proucts shipping it. Thank you for your help. I think you could be interested in the numbers. Koffice.org links ------- While looking for Koffice information i was a bit disappointed on koffice.org (althoug the new blog is awesome), because i hal to consult google several times to find the koffice wiki, because I knew it existed but could not find a link on your site. Could you put a link to the wiki on the page? As well as to the Mailinglist (+ Archives on Nabble), the IRC, the bugzilla. I think the Koffice related Information is very scattered across different sites - so you need at least links from the central place koffice.org Windows Downloads ------- In my opinion you could get a very large userbase by providing a simple installer for windows without using the koffice installer. Nobody but geeks (like me:) would install an office suite in such a complicate way. Windows still has a >95% market share, so you will loose a large userbase (and developerbase!) if you don't provide an easy way for people to try the software. I think you already had the idea, but please make it high priority. Especially when you'll get broad news coverage with Koffice 2.1, you should provide the users an easy solution (BIG DOWNLOADBUTTON :) or you'll miss a big oppertunity.
