Hi,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit :
A post has been submitted by "cfrees" complaining about the lack of
clarity over how to use OpenOffice.org 2.0 in Mac OS X.
Yes, we just forgot it. Waiting, you're welcome to contribute, defining
the content of this README, we'll have to localize after. Your
contribution will certainly be accepted.
The post is the top one on this page:

Reading just 2 or 3 threads, it appears that it's time to find a real
solution to improve help for Mac OS X users of OpenOffice.org X11.
Looks like nor this mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), nor the URL you gave are
adapted to help new users, and a solution has to be found.
Welcome if you want to help us.
While here, I may as well submit my complaint about the auto-running of
fondu when you launch OpenOffice.org 2.0 for X11.
For your information, fondu is not in 2.0 ... at least in rc3 :-)
As a consequence of having
over a thousand fonts installed on my system, the OpenOffice.org 2.0
package swelled to nearly 700MB of disk space.
No. This is not true.
OpenOffice.org 2.0rc3 comes *without* fondu inside. If fondu is
installed, this is because the user *already* installed it.
Supposing fondu is intalled, yes, around supplementary 140 MB of place
is needed.
Just 5 minutes ago, I have installed 2.0rc3 (en-US), to proceed some QA
tests : the result is, when fondu is used, 470 MB max are used. Not
700MB like you wrote.
Remember OpenOffice.org is a complete office solution, and MS Office
takes a lot of place too. Currently, hard disks are very big, and this
is really not a problem, regarding everything OpenOffice.org can do.
Now, if you have fonts installed as user on your system, these
directories are not concerned, because fondu for users directories is
still not implemented. ( I mean ~/Library/Fonts )
What if an end-user has several thousand fonts installed? They could
very easily see a few GB of disk space disappear for no apparent reason
Using fondu, fonts are extracted only in /System/Library/Fonts and
/Library/Fonts.
I guess that simple user can only install fonts in ~/Library/Fonts.
Else, if a simple User has write access is such directories, this is not
a good thing for security reasons.
Anyway, the work you folks put in is appreciated but it would be better
if you could include a readme with your downloads that details the
issues above.
Yes, good idea. About fondu, I think we'll try to invite the user to
choose
1) if he want or not use fondu at first launch
2) in which directory (with something like check boxes) he wants to
extract fonts.
The main problem we still have about this feature, easy to implement (I
already play with it), is how to manage localization using an
Applescript... Suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
eric bachard
