What doesn't work? Here, /usr/sbin/chkfontpath actually lists me the
available font paths.

I used another approach by defining SAL_FONTPATH_USER variable for -2mdk.
Probably should it be expanded to the result of chkfontpath in -3mdk.

This is an OOo /net setup bug. Dictionaries are under
/usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/* whereas they should be in
~/.openoffice/user/wordbook/.

Yes, that works here. What were the other issues? I still don't see the
templates and I am wondering if they are supposed to be in OOo actually...

Thank you for testing the package.
