One would do well to remember that at the time, the internal Sun Base development team only comprised about 3 members of staff working full-time on the project, thus resources were painfully limited. Just yet another argument in favor of just providing a driver for a client-server RDBMS.

[libreoffice-users] Problems with writer in LO
I have recently upgraded a workstation from fedora fc16 to fc17, but the problem remains unchanged. Using both the fc17-provided libreoffice-*-3.5.7.2-6.fc17.x86_64.rpm's and the downloaded 3.6.1.2 release from the Document Foundation website, there are two problems in writer - and they are identical under either release. Under the (fc16) previous release libreoffice-*-3.4.6.2-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm's the problems did/do not occur. In both cases, files created on a win7 machine running the 3.6.3 release display the same problem once moved to the linux box under the 3.5 and 3.6 releases. Finally the color problem does not occur in calc. 1) All text appears in black or white on the screen. With a (sufficiently?) dark background, you get white text. Otherwise you get white. You can PRINT the document and get the colors you specify, but you can't display them that way on screen. 2) It's impossible to create a non-breaking space CTRLSHIFTSPACE. The key combination produces no output. This problem also occurs in Impress where it's possible to import a non-brk space from another program but not to create one from the keyboard. (And I almost never use impress so that may be 'normal' behavior there...) I have tried to do a search through the email-list archives and the bugzilla site as well; however, as I am getting over eye surgery, finding the answer there has not worked yet (apologies). Any suggestions on this matter (these 2 matters) will be greatly appreciated.

[libreoffice-users] Altered use of CTRLF in Writer
In 3.4, the behavior of the ^F is altered so that a brower-style window pops up at the bottom of the screen. While some folks may like that I find it to be an annoyance (this being the only app for which I have to have a different sequence for find-and-replace - and yes, I don't use windows much at all). Is there a way to disable that behavior short of changing and recompiling the code? If there's an option somewhere under ToolsOptions, then I've the I've been completely unable to locate it.

Very strange. [SNIP] That may not be correct: On one machine I have a collection of about 5730 fonts (old hobby, long story) and ALL of them are installed using rpm or yum in /usr/share/fonts (I built the RPM packages for most of them). I do NOT have a .fonts directory, and LO (just like OOo) sees all of them just fine. They display properly in (for instance) writer, and they also print correctly. I'm on fedora fc15 on that machine, and except for the slightly longer loading time (probably due to the ridiculous number of fonts), there are no problems at all. OK there's one - when I tried to print out a font catalog last fall, I had to break it into multiple chunks. I don't remember whether it was the extremely long time that was needed or if instead it was a SW limitation. But IMNSOHAO anybody doing something like should probably not expect it to be just another 'trivial' task anyway. - Bill -- william w. austin aire...@att.net life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
