Starting on a new paper I find that inserting PDFs into a document ends up in poor quality not only on screen (known from Word), but also on printing.I can live with it, since on paper submission I add the images separately anyway.Next problem: for references management, I use Zotero.That’s a great system which I’ve been using for a decade and wrote about, if now a little outdated.Ok, so I read that Zotero can work together with LibreOffice, great.However, on installing the plugin errors occur. Now LibreOffice complained “selected JRE is defective…”. Oh my, hours pass by… I find that LibreOffice actually does not need JRE (Java Runtime Environment) but rather the JDK (Java Development Kit). Installed latest version played in the terminal with $JAVA_HOME etc… LOOONG story… no dice. Solution: delete latest LibreOffice, go back to version 6.4.7 (labled as “stable”). 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. 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. 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). So I went back to my main machine, and found that 7.0.3 still complained about Java “incomplete”. Restart LibreOffice and perform the task which gave you the error.Java Installation Directory in Windows 10 By default, Java setup installs it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231.Now, it’s time to verify Java installation in Windows.Version 7.1.1 solves the “blur” problem.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). Verify from Tools -> Options -> Advanced that LibreOffice detected the Java runtime correctly.You should not be receiving the error anymore.
