Eric/Graeme: This also happens if you are running the program from the disk image folder.
As a reminder, you MUST drag the application to the Applications folder BEFORE running it. If you do not do this, the result will be a corrupt program that will not run even if you drag it over afterwards. You will have to redownload the program in order to use it and remove the OpenOffice.org 2.2 folder from the Library folder which is accessed from your user folder and then accessing the Application Support folder inside this folder. The UNIX directory structure is ~/Library/Application\ Support/OpenOffice.org\ 2.2 and can be used from within the Terminal program (if anyone wants to make this easier to understand, please write up a FAQ ans send it to Shaun McDonald to be added to the web site.) The reason for corruption is when the application attempts to update itself, the disk image stops the process (you are not root and cannot be but the folder is owned by this user) during the Font updates and this makes the program unusable at this point and into the future. This is a known problem with this type of distibution where the program updates its own folders (maybe this is an issue....)
