Re: OpenOffice needs better UI
Dear Jorg, I am a loyal user of WPS and Microsoft Office, not Open Office. The reason why I suggested an Open Office Lite edition is I am tired of the new versions of WPS and Microsoft that have little improvement over the previous ones. I am suggesting this for the better common good of office users, not because I have the need to use it. I will become a loyal fan of Oo Lite if it meets the quality requirement for research paper quality writing, but not for now. China already has a free replacement of Microsoft Office, which is WPS. The software also has a Linux Edition. People really have no urge to use Oo Lite. WPS is currently No. 1 on Chinese market. I think European market would be a good place for Oo Lite. I am not "honestly" saying I want an Oo Lite Edition because I don't know what "I" represents for at this moment. I have trouble with my social and family ties that the other side refuse to listen or accept a resolution in a legal and enforcible manner. I find I am incapable to resolve anything related to more than 1 person that involves "I". So I go for the word "future" instead of "I". In future, we will see a better and different world, even though I might not live to that day. 获取 Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36> From: Jörg Schmidt Sent: Sunday, September 5, 2021 3:26:04 PM To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: RE: OpenOffice needs better UI > -Original Message- > From: Hao Wang [mailto:hao...@live.com] > Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2021 6:41 AM > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: OpenOffice needs better UI > Should we create an Oo Lite edition that is small in size and > lightweighted as discussed in the messages ?

BTW, a > Windows edition of Oo Lite would also be a great threat to Microsoft. Where is the problem to honestly say: an "Oo Lite edition" would please me? That would be a position I could share. What I can't share is the kind of argumentation that tries to convince us of unrealistic chances of success for AOO, only with the obvious interest of wanting to push through an "Oo Lite Edition" in this way. A little provocatively: Where are the Chinese developers who are interested in implementing a "Oo Lite edition"? _If_ it were realistic that a "Oo Lite edition" would be so overly successful in China, then I'm pretty sure Chinese developers would realize that and be willing to support AOO. But such questions are answered automatically in a meritocratic project, because if there are enough people who believe in the success of a specific change in the program, then (not necessarily, but very likely) people will be found who will implement this change in practice.

With this you have wonderfully explained and justified your request, but said exactly zero about what should be changed or improved in the OO UI. Two of the programs mentioned (MS Office and WPS Office) have a ribbon interface in any case. If that is your desire for the UI, then that would be clear so far. > In China it is overtaken by WPS possible, I don't know the situation in China > and in the USA by Microsoft No, definitely not, because MS Office has always had much higher market share than OpenOffice. In Germany, for example, OpenOffice (specifically OOo) had a share of about 12% at its best, while MS Office had >70%. The situation in the USA was never very different, rather the share of OO was a bit smaller than in Germany. > Even with a less-advanced technical core, a better > UI design can lead to much higher popularity. That is certainly true. I'm just afraid that no one here is willing to put significant developer capacity into the UI at the moment. More concretely, if someone would be interested in improving the UI, they could do it, but they have to find someone who is interested first.

WPS Office can be your best choice. www.wps.com Since China is pro-Cuba, as we all know in this world. I think if in the end OpenOffice is really blocked to Cuba, you can switch to WPS from China.

In general, you should be able to use the packages provided by your distribution. On Ubuntu 18.04, the package is named "libfreetype6-dev", and is installed by the following command: $ sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev This will probably be the first package out of a long list.

Dear OpenOffice Dev Team, I've been trying to build Open Office today, but I couldn't install freetype2 on my ubuntu machine. When I did a "./configure" in the main folder, I got the following error : checking whether freetype is available... checking for FREETYPE... no configure: error: Package requirements (freetype2 >= 2.0 ) were not met: No package 'freetype2' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FREETYPE_CFLAGS and FREETYPE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. Then I downloaded freetype 2 and installed it into /usr/local/freetype and added /usr/local/freetype in the .bashrc file , but I got the same error. Best Regards, Hao Wang
