I have deleted the offending .pdf from Internet Archive and now replacing with .odt, .tmdx, and .docx files. The internet Archive link for the new files is:

Is the Comic Relief pdf version OK?
I will check this out and get back to you.
No apologies needed, I believe we're all entitled to make mistakes once in a while!

Yes but as a proof reader having made a living out of modifying documents for the print-disabled I feel quite bad about it. Always prided myself on being a good proof-reader of my own work. But then s**t happens!
I can well understand your feeling. Nevertheless, I believe that many people here are very happy that you have put so much effort and personal commitment into creating this manual. What counts is that this great help exists at all - thanks to you!

Thanks to @zenzen and @Forpli for your kind words of encouragement. @zabadabadoo might be a while before I get round to checking the Comic Relief version as currently trying to help a forum member in Arizona to get their printer working via Team Viewer for GNU/Linux - was going to use Remmina Remote but not sure how to do that easily.

No rush for this. I think it looked OK when I last had a look at it. But you may wish to do an audit, after what you found in the other font version. Zab
Well just had a cursory look. The Contents Pages need to get updated. I don't know if it is because of SoftMaker Office when I export to pdf it is picking up parts of pages in Contents, but I really need to edit in SoftMaker to update TOC (Table of Contents) - the links go to the right place but the Page Numbering is incorrect. Stay tuned!

Well bad news for me, pdf Studio Pro now sucks as far as I am concerned. It cannot cope with files greater than 10 Mb. The good news, exporting to pdf from SoftMaker Office - excellente!
So Comic Relief has been updated with TOC (Table of Contents) errors corrected. no issue with images (just realised I stated that without checking!) When I downloaded the .odt file all images were garbled. I used the .docx file as the base, then exported as pdf - correct as expected. A word of advice for people who have created a TOC in their TextMaker 2024 document, DON'T tick the 'create TOC' when exporting to pdf:
So Comic Relief version now has a corrected .pdf, replacement .odt and .docx files and newly created .tmdx file
Open Dyslexic version now has a .pdf file too! All courtesy of SoftMaker Office.
If anyone (@Frog - hint hint) has a copy of Master PDF Creator, I would like to know if it can cope with the import of .docx file, and if it can I might ask Apryse/Qoppa for a refund for a product that cannot cope with what it is supposed to do!

Is this now the source of the updated ComicRelief version?
I'm asking as added date says: 2024-11-11 20:43:29
EDIT: I will answer my own question.
The pdf from that archive has ToC errors.
e.g. Live Disk is on p20 but ToC says p23.
I will just wait for Swarf to say when ToC corrected version can be downloaded as pdf.
Hi @zabadabadoo I've only updated the last link in the thread for murena source. Will sort out archive one later.

currently uploading Comic Relief Mk.IIII version to Internet Archive in different browser, because if I leave the page to post here, then the upload stops. Will be availabel in .odt, .tmdx, .pdf and .docx format.
So why so many different formats? Well not everyone has a pdf editor - issuing the manual in different Text Processor formats enables the end user to add to or make corrections to the content.
The updated link is now here for Internet Archive:
So now the Zorin Community has 2 sources for the Unofficial Manual - Internet Archive and murena.io.
Spoke too soon - looks like I have uploaded the faulty one again. Tired as up at 6.30 following the chime of a text message received to say new dishwasher is on its way!
The correct pdf (named as corrected too!) has now been uploaded! phew!
The link is:

Hello Swarfendor, do you know a program that can automatically translate the manual?
You would need either to use DeepL Translate which is a paid for application or use Google Docs which is what I used for the Unofficial Manual for Zorin 12. The only thing I did not do was install in a foreign language, by that I mean I used the original images for the Menu in English. The Unofficial Manual for Zorin 12 I translated into French, German, Italian, and Greek using Google Docs. A kind member from Argentina kindly translated it into Spanish.

I could not find it on fresh install. That is what I meant. I will get around to updating my cloud folder later. This font will be needed for users not using Zorin and reading on other platforms in respect of .odt, .tmdx and .docx files.
understand. hence why not use it. pity, because it's so good, but not a common font... ?
@zoran You could install this and look if it helps:
Sorry, I mixed it up, comic relief is not a Microsoft font at all. But when you install the microsoft-fonts you can use comic sans (you need a valid Microsoft license).
