[gentoo-user] Open Office wants to speak to me in Greek!

2007-08-16 Thread Randy Barlow
I have an odd problem with Open Office: all the menus and dialogs from
Open Office are using Greek character sets and not the usual ones.  I
can read them since I know most of the Greek characters, but this
doesn't come easy :)  Here is a screen shot:

As you can see, the menus at the top of OO in the background are in
Greek, and the Options menu is also in Greek.  I believe this happened
during an upgrade sometime over the summer, but I can't be sure of when
because honestly I haven't used Open Office on this machine in a long
while (2 or 3 months).

Another odd tidbit is that I have another machine that runs OO just
fine.  The only real difference is software setup between the two
machines is that on the problematic one I use Gnome, and on the other I
use KDE.  I do not find this problem in any of my other applications
though, so I doubt that is relevant.  Any tips?

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were
not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received
mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~1 Peter 2:9-10

Try to change fonts in the KDE Control Center from Standard Symbols to another 
one.

I had this problem with that font and I solved this problem that way

I always had lots of issues regarding how OpenOffice deals with locales, fonts, 
etc.

I'd recommend that you open up a terminal, check out your environment (env, 
set, export, etc),
adjust whatever you find necessary, and start oowriter from there.
