          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)

Hi,

I wanted to have the same Look and feel within my base form in windows, mac and
linux as I use the form in all platforms.

I ticked the "Embed font in document" in the properties dialog of base forms.

My base file size was less than 1 Mo and it is now 37 Mo ! What's more, it is
now very slow when saving the file.

I tried different strategies to detach the fonts this :

1. I unticked to detach the fonts but it doesn't work.

2. I unzipped the base file, deleted the embedded fonts and zipped the file
back to ods but then the file is corrupted.

3. I made a copy of the file. And deleted all the forms in the original file.
Then the file size is back to normal (600 Ko). Then I added back the forms one
by one, saving the base file each time. So I identified the form which is 37
Mo. Then I made a copy of a normal form I had, renamed it to the name of the
BigSizeForm, edited it, deleting every control inside, and copied the controls
from the BigSizeForm in the base file copy. I have everything back to normal :
the base file size is 700 Ko and it saves superfastly. So problem solved.

Other than my third step, I don't see a safe way to detach those fonts. There
should at least a warning that you cannot undo it! And it would be better if it
was possible.
