Dictionary patches
Hi, I have a patch for the openoffice.org-dictionaries-20030813 package to add an en_NZ dictionary to it. I also have a patch to it which makes it build a thesaurus package allowing the en_US thesaurus to be used in the en_NZ locale. I think it would be a good idea to have a package like this for every en_ locale that (a) does have a dictionary and (b) doesn't have a properly localised thesaurus. Although these patches are both pretty trivial, the first one at least is fairly large because it includes the actual en_NZ dictionary (280k bzipped). Does anyone want this? Do the OpenOffice.org2 builds use the same dictionaries and thesauruses? Would you like me to add do this for some other dictionaries, and perhaps even some more you-can-use-the-thesaurus packages as above?

Bug#194820: OOo Window moves when opening a document
I have had a quick search on http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi but I can't find an upstream issue for this. The problem is almost certainly not a Debian one, however. When I open a new document I see this behaviour, but my window manager (sawfish) controls it better and the title bar is still within the visible area of the screen. I have downgraded this to minor, because it really does not affect usability to any great degree. It would also be useful if you could find an upstream issue to link to (or create one, if you can't find anything appropriate).

Bug#208496: Problems with Arial font and Word imported quotes
Hi, This is most likely to be a locale-related issue, or possibly because your have bogus Arial fonts installed, or it could be an upstream bug, of course. There were some fonts in AbiWord that were installed as Arial but were not Arial really, and I think that would create this problem. I guess there is also a problem in the import filter if Word's quote doesn't get translated to the same character that you would get in OOo. The attached document views fine in Debian OOo 1.1.1-3 for me, but the title bar displays the apostrophe in the file as 0x0109, which suggests to me that the original Word doc is in a non-C locale, whereas your bug report suggests that OOo may well be using C locale. According to one upstream issue that might be this, the problem is fixed in OOo 1.1.1, so perhaps you could reconfirm that the problem still exists, or close this if it does not.

Bug#193760: Seems to be covered by this upstream issue
upstream 193760 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=14163 thanks This issue seems to be related to general problems with the recursive parsing of postscript in postscript, and OpenOffice.org lack of a parser for postscript. Workarounds are suggested in the ooffice issue, but are generally more related to PDF export so I'm not sure if they would work for EPS export (i.e.: create a printer that does EPS export? It would probably work, but I don't know the exact ghostscript-fu for that :-) Regards, Andrew. - Andrew @ Catalyst .Net .NZ Ltd, PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington WEB: http://catalyst.net.nz/ PHYS: Level 2, 150-154 Willis St DDI: +64(4)916-7201 MOB: +64(21)635-694 OFFICE: +64(4)499-2267 How many things I can do without! -- Socrates - signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

In addition, a check of the current OpenOffice.org release does not exhibit problems with - displayed as a rectangle.

Font antialiasing only working for some fonts
Hi Everyone, I am having some wierd problems with anti-aliased fonts on my system and I wonder if anyone here has any ideas. I see some anti-aliased fonts in my applications, including OpenOffice, but not all fonts are anti-aliased. I have installed msttcorefonts, but they do not apear anti-aliased in OpenOffice although they _do_ appear anti-aliased in other applications. Mozilla, for example, will anti-alias Times New Roman, as will Evolution. OpenOffice will not. OpenOffice will anti-alias some fonts however, from a bunch of other truetype fonts I have installed (just not the msttcorefonts). Any ideas? I have set all the font paths I use into my /etc/X11/XftConfig, and I have tried using both xfs and xfs-xtt as font servers. I have also tried LD_PRELOAD-ing the freetype6 libraries. This is very frustrating :-( All of the fonts worked well with the OpenOffice.org download of 641d, but they have stopped working now that I am using the Debian package.
