I had same problem (on PowerPC) until I installed from the DVD Randall Northam
Hello Bill Take a look at the OpenOffice.org Mac porting site, particularly at the support page: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/support.html There is a Panther version on the Apple site For Tiger, you better install it (as Randall said) from your installtion CD's or DVD The Package you need to install is called X11User.pkg. Do not install the Developer's package. Apple provided an update (v.1.1.2) with errors in the Vera font files, and later made a corrected version available at the Apple site (v.1.1.3). Maybe you can update after OOo works with the X11 version from disk Good luck -- Guy using english OOo 2.0.4 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.1 RC 1 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger --please reply only to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
