As of Build 95, I am still unable to read a good part of the Adm Guide. I did a quick and dirty experiment by copying and pasting a page from the Adm Guide that contains the "invisible" fonts into StarSuite, then exporting it to PDF. Lo and behold, all the problems disappeared. I understand there is a bug in the current builds of OpenSolaris that is out of Sun's control. I am sure this problem will be solved when 2008.11 comes out (fingers crossed!). However, there is no guarantee that this problem will not reappear again. Then we will just have to fire up VirtualBox to read those Sun-published PDF files. Again, I don't see any reason why we should not consider using StarOffice (BTW, it's "StarOffice"--one word, not "star office") to publish the Adm Guide, as well as other Sun publications. Microsoft generates more than 50% of its profits from sales of its Office suites. It is my experience that if one is willing to invest time and effort, StarOffice is, give and take, at least as competent as any desktop publishing tool, especially when compared to Microsoft Office, in publishing technical documents. Of course, what is good enough for a pauper may not be good enough for Sun's employees.
