LibreOffice formatting weirdness

[Brian Cluff]

For the people that were at the meeting last night you saw that Barbara 
observed/complained that her presentation, that was created in 
PowerPoint, was formatted oddly.
The strange thing is that we were sure that it was showing correctly on 
my other laptop, and I verified that it was a little bit ago.
The first thing I assumed was that the versions were different, but both 
laptops were on the exact same version.  The next thing I assumed was my 
other laptop was missing the MS core fonts, but I found that they were 
installed.
I was finally able to get it to show up correctly when I noticed that 
the "libreoffice" meta package wasn't actually installed. When I 
installed it, it pulled in the following extra packages:

   fonts-crosextra-caladea fonts-crosextra-carlito fonts-liberation2 
fonts-sil-gentium fonts-sil-gentium-basic libbsh-java libreoffice 
libreoffice-librelogo
   libreoffice-nlpsolver libreoffice-ogltrans libreoffice-report-builder 
libreoffice-report-builder-bin libreoffice-script-provider-bsh 
libreoffice-script-provider-js
   libreoffice-script-provider-python libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql 
libreoffice-wiki-publisher

So the the "fix" was in the form of the fonts-crosextra-caladea font 
package.  The presentation used the cambria font and that package 
provides a visually similar font with the same metrics.

As for the wrong colors and missing dashed lines. That turned out to be 
my fault.  I found that the document would load correctly, but if it 
were modified in LibreOffice and saved to it's original pptx format and 
then reloaded the colors were messed up and the dashed lines were 
converted to solid lines.  I messed it up when I moved a couple of 
things around trying to get the formatting better.

Anyway, I just thought I would share just in case anyone way curious as 
to why the presentation was showing up strangely... and who knows maybe 
someone has the same issue and it's simply a package load away for 
better formatting.
