WPS Office bold fonts problems
Posted: 2024-08-10 Filed under: office, ports, system | Tags: bold, freetype, WPS Office 13 CommentsI use WPS Office for my work and so far have been quite happy with it.

WPS Office dictionaries collection
Posted: 2023-05-27 Filed under: desktop | Tags: dictionaries, dictionary, lang, language, spellcheck, WPS Office 2 CommentsI have just submitted wps-office-dicts to SBo.

WPS Office dictionary
Posted: 2017-10-15 Filed under: office | Tags: dictionary, en_GB, spellcheck, WPS Office 2 CommentsI have been using WPS Office for quite some time now, and I am really not looking back. The default spellcheck that comes with the office is American English (en_US). I wanted to add a spell check in Writer for British English, since this is what I normally use for documents.
