My first guess would be a port of Abiword.
Both Abiword and Gnumeric work reasonably well, but there are user-interface problems (the toolbars, dialogs, and menubars are generally way too big). But if you can deal with those problems (or tweak the X dpi or the theme settings) they are actually quite usable. Surprisingly so. If you want to build Abiword 2.5.2, I suggest going to the OE bugtracker and using the updated bitbake recipe and patches I posted there, to fix text-size problems on the ruler. These haven't made it to the OE repository, unfortunately. (I can't post a link to the bug, as the site seems to be down at the moment. Just do a query for "abiword" on bugs.openembedded.org.) Given that Abiword and Gnumeric work so well already, perhaps someone might like to redesign the UIs for OpenMoko. Since both applications appear to use libglade that shouldn't be too hard to do. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
