Two things. 1. Apple seems arbitrarily to have changed some things in its X11
and 2. there may be a
bug in OOo.
The solution for now is simple and our thanks to Pluby of Trinity for
suggesting it. See http://
trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3414
Instructions:
Seems Apple decided to change their X11 server's font handling without even
bothering to test a big
font using application like OOo X11 and OOo X11 will not run if you install the
latest Apple update.
In my quick look at this, I believe that this clearly an Apple bug. From the
OOo X11 team's initial
evaluation. The problem seems to be that Apple's update cannot handle its own
Vera fonts. But since
Apple is unlikely to fix their bug quickly and I know that some people are
using OOo X11, I have found
the following workaround.
Open the /Applications/Utilties/Terminal application and execute the following
two commands. Note
that you will be asked for your password as these commands require
administrative privileges:
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.bad
Code:
sudo mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.bad
--
I think this solution should be posted to the OOo Web, or a link to Patrick's
solution.
