Re: Can you use the Basic Sans and Basic Roman fonts free outside of the app, because they are visually same as them?

If you want to use the font in other apps on your computers, phones or tablets, feel free to do so.

If your question is about distributing the fonts to others, we don't allow that.

Some stupid spammer overloaded one of our servers today. This is solved and will likely not happen the same way in the future.

Re: can't format sections separetly

Page margins are a chapter property, not a section property.

Re: Keyboard defaulting to Japanese

Re: Track changes now comments deletions

The thing is that track changes are in flux at Microsoft. Originally it was a document option. Now, they are still storing the setting in documents, but ignore it and prefer what the user chose in the UI. We are on a similar path with upcoming versions of SoftMaker Office.

Re: Repo URI has gone since sunday

https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/rpm and https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/apt are not listable in a web browser and haven't been for a long time.

Your package manager will have no problem accessing it.

The problem you saw was a short server failure on Sunday morning which was fixed on Sunday morning.

Re: Black Week subscription offer

Re: SoftMaker User Forum is broken

This problem is fixed now. Basically all http connection failed, only https worked. You saw this only in Firefox because all other browsers silently switch to https when http fails.
