I think you get better fonts if you compile openoffice. also it is a lot more stable. I found that using a compiled version of any program seems to be more stable then binary that has been compiled for most types of systems.
eg: before i used mozilla downloaded and installed from binary. It would sometimes crash if i use too many windows at a time (that was before tabs were invented ;-)) Then i tried gentoo and compiled it. I don't remember mozilla crashes anytime. Also this could be becuase of gentoo but i'm think its becuase i compiled the program for my own systems spec. > G�zim Hoxha wrote: >> Hi, >> I started merging openoffice and it�s really taking >> it�s time [about 5 hours] and it�s not yet done.
