There are two things that you should know: how to install OOo on
an Intel Mac, and the problems associated with the recent update of
X11.
For installation instructions, you need to go to
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/.
For the problems with the latest X11 update, this upgrade has
some fonts that can cause OOo not to start.
Instructions for solving this problems are found at:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71096.
From James McKenzie
Mac OS X QA/Test Team Lead:
"Since this problem was introduced by Apple and they have acknowledged
it, they also advise they are in the process of fixing it."
"Another effort is underway to disable the use of the X11 fonts in
OpenOffice.org for the Mac to prevent this problem in the future and
to prevent font conflicts between the Mac fonts and X11 fonts."
