Subject: [users] use with MAC OS X

The OpenOffice web site constantly states that OpenOffice is usable
on "MAC OS X (requires X11)". Nowhere in Apple literature do I find
any reference to X11. I am using a MAC MINI with OS X v10.4. Will
OpenOffice run on this system?

Definitely OpenOffice 2.0.4 will run on your Mac Mini. However, please
do not upgrade the X11 program after you install it.  There are broken
font files that will stop OpenOffice.org from functioning as well as other programs. This issue is being fixed by Apple and there is another issue being worked by the OpenOffice.org team to disable the use of X11 fonts
on the MacOSX platform (and maybe other platforms as well.)


If you have difficulities using or installing OpenOffice.org on your Mac please
refer to the FAQ located at http://porting.openoffice.org/mac
