I should have really said, it's not possible to read/write the filenames themselves in the "File name:" field in the Open/Save dialog boxes. You can select a file whose filename is all boxes and shapes (in reality it's greek text) and open it, and it will open alright, except for the document name at the title bar which will also show as boxes/shapes.

So, does this get fixed in 2.1? I've downloaded it, but not installed it yet. Can it reside next to 2.0 by the way?

When I use OOo 2.0 on MacOS X 10.4 with X11 it's not possible to read or write files whose filename contains greek characters. Any ways to fix this?

There is a fix related to the opening of certain files through the Finder in OpenOffice.org 2.1.


What really happens is, all greek text in filenames shows in the Open/Save dialogs as boxes. This, by the way, is not the case with NeoOffice, but then again, it doesn't use X11.


Are the files able to be opened directly within OpenOffice.org?
Can you please give an example filename?
Could this issue be:

Please upgrade to OpenOffice.org 2.1 and try again.
