I strongly recommend that you actually take the step of installing the Java JDK. Version 7.1.1 solves the “blur” problem.Bring up a Terminal window (using Spotlight or going to Applications, Utilities folder, Terminal) and type in: java -versionĭoes it come up with a response? For example, I use Java 1.8 build 191 and get the following:.I copied the entire “jdk1.8.0_25.jdk” directory (it sits in /Library/Java/) to may main machine, selected it, and it worked… (with the blur problem, but thaty’s a known issue and arduously being worked upon). So I went back to my main machine, and found that 7.0.3 still complained about Java “incomplete”. On another machine LibreOffice 7.0.3 worked right away after I selected Java “jdk1.8.0_25.jdk”.Based on a tip here by Jean, #77, thank you! “AppleFontSmoothing” enables subpixel font rendering on non-Apple LCDs, from none (0) over light (1) to heavy (3). in version 6.4.7 the blurry font rendering is improved (though still not perfect) by entering this terminal command:ĭefaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0Īnd restarting LibreOffice.In principle migrating to LibreOffice is successful for now and works on several machines, prompting me to write this blog entry.For that I had to fire up Word one last (?) time – it greeted me with “Licence has expired” but did what I needed to do. At least after I switched “Store Citations as:” to “Bookmarks”.Yes, Zotero references management works, lo!.Good enough for me, this also has the blur problem, never mind. Solution: delete latest LibreOffice, go back to version 6.4.7 (labled as “stable”). Installed latest version played in the terminal with $JAVA_HOME etc… LOOONG story… no dice. Oh my, hours pass by… I find that LibreOffice actually does not need JRE (Java Runtime Environment) but rather the JDK (Java Development Kit). Now LibreOffice complained “selected JRE is defective…”. However, on installing the plugin errors occur. Ok, so I read that Zotero can work together with LibreOffice, great.That’s a great system which I’ve been using for a decade and wrote about, if now a little outdated. Next problem: for references management, I use Zotero. I can live with it, since on paper submission I add the images separately anyway.
