Hi all,
I'm trying to run OpenOffice from a remote machine. I'm getting a bit of confusing results.
The problem can be catagorized in one word: Fonts.
OO doesn't see any of the fonts available to my local X server. Is that the standard behaviour? Is that how things should be?
Setup:
Local machine - my usual Debian Sid machine, running XFree86 4.3, with all the relevant fonts installed and working for locally started applications.
Remote machine - Debian Sarge, not running any X server at all.
Connection method - ssh to the sarge machine with "X11 forwarding" enabled.
When I run oowriter, I get the windows asociated with the application pop up locally. I can type into the application and do anything else required. The list of fonts, however, is severly limited. When I try to type in Hebrew (and assuming the remote locale is properly set), I get squares, suggesting that there are no Hebrew fonts installed.
My questions: Where should my fonts be for things to work in this configuration? Will running XFS help in any way? What's going on here?
