[fpc-pascal] Directory Tree

[James Richters]

For some reason the ODT file wants to know if I want to translate it from French, and while the font is “Courier New” for anything I would type into the document, the font of the text itself is “Liberation Serif”
If I change the font manually to “Courier New” I get gaps in the vertical lines,  but if I change it to “Consolas” there are no gaps and it looks perfect.
 
So I thought I should be able to just save a template with the font set to “Consolas” and the spacing set to “No Spacing” which is basically single spacing it.. 
Well when I save it like that, when I try to run it I get:
Unable to Open File:  C:\Users\James\AppData\Local\Temp\Fi8004.odt
Press OK and risk data corruption or press abort to kill the program
 
I think it must have something to do with using Microsoft Word to save the template.

Another way of seeing is to generate and odt file with the generated text.
You get a slightly better rendering because I could define  Courier New as default font in the new template: FileVirtualTree_txt_to_odt.odt
>From the OpenOffice "File" menu, you can generate a pdf file.
There is a way too, to execute LibreOffice/OpenOffice from command line to convert directly the odt to pdf.
I have some code for this at https://github.com/jsuzineau/pascal_o_r_mapping/blob/master/OOo/uOD.pas, in methods
- function TOD.Executable_soffice: String;
- function TOD.Format_Sortie_from_(_Nom_ODT: String): String;
- function TOD.PDF_from_(_Nom_ODT: String): String;
but it can't be used as is for the current case.
