Font hinting problems solved - sort of?
Hi, You're probably aware that by default the font hinting with antialiased fonts in OpenOffice leaves a lot to be desired. The font FAQ indicates that this is because of the Apple patent problems with Freetype. Still, I've discovered that it's fairly trivial to work aroud this without actually modifying anything or rebuilding OpenOffice. This obviously depends on you having a freetype library on your system which does have autohinting and the bytecode interpreter enabled. Simply: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 before executing 'openoffice' results in nicely hinted fonts.

java and oo can work!
Hello, I looked back through April mailing list archive for this group and am extremely puzzled by some declarations being made that java was disabled in the debian-openoffice builds. That is definitely not true at all. Java applets can work fine. You have just annoyed users by hiding the toggle to enable it. For example, on my debian ppc sid machine with Stephen Zander's new jre 1.3.1-2 packages installed if I use openoffice to run openoffice.org, the program automatically configures my account for running openoffice.org but java applet support is disabled. HOWEVER, if I go into .openoffice in my account, run setup to remove all of the oo files from my account and then manually run /usr/lib/openoffice/programs/setup I get the normal gui setup program. In there, when asked to identify the jre, I browse to /usr/lib/j2se/1.3 and the debian-openoffice recognized the jre and uses it. I can then open the j2sdk 1.3 clock demo html and see the applet load inside openoffice. So again you guys are NOT disabling java support in openoffice but merely hiding it. I see no reason why you can't adjust the openoffice script to check for the jre directory and enable java in each users account. Again this does NOT make openoffice.org require java in anyway shape or form. It simply allows the program to take advantage of it. Thanks in advance for considering this request.

Bugs against openoffice.org
Hi, Just checking whether you folks know that a few bugs have been filed against the openoffice.org package in the BTS - there haven't been any replies to any of them yet. If you're planning to leave these open until openoffice.org is in Debian proper, it might be useful for somebody to subscribe to openoffice.org in the Package Tracking System in order to get its bugs. (I'm assuming this works for non-existent packages.) Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

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.

Re: java and openoffice.org 1.0-3

I tested this against Kevin Hendrick's OpenOffice 1.0 build. I am having trouble getting the debian openoffice.org package to do the same.

Shouldn't we have this path checked in the openoffice.org packages and java enabled if it is present? I tried running setup from .openoffice in my account but I was only presented with the choice of deinstalling it from my account. Should I deinstall it and run setup again so I can select the j2re? Thanks in advance for any hints. For me, I would be pleased, if we drop java completly .. :) It is non-free, and non-free sucks :) But, I think, you are right, if some has java installed on his system, we should detect it and enable or asking, whether to enable java or not.

Re: Where have all the icons gone?

Just upgraded to -3 and all the icons that were in
/usr/share/apps/openoffice.org/icons
Now there are none!
I have used these for the Debian menu was there a reason for removing
them and if so can we put the 32x32 ones back?
They could go in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/{bitmaps,pixmaps} as per the
Debian menu system notes ( file://usr/share/doc/menu/html/ch3.html)
There were some problems with installing OpenOffice.org and KDE-stuff,
so we decided to disable this, until this totally fixed..
