I decided to do a reinstall. So I opened Synaptic and started by searching on openoffice. In the results I noticed that openoffice.org-gnome and openoffice.og-gtk were not installed. I marked -gnome for installation, which automatically selected -gtk as well, since -gnome depends on -gtk. After installing those two I opened Writer and the Ctrl+Shft+u for inserting Unicode characters was working again! Yay! However, all the menu items were in a strange symbol font. Everything was unreadable. I could guess how to get to Tools > Options, but when the dialog box popped up it was also in the strange symbol font. I've seen this before -- back in the days of Edgy and 2.04 when I attempted to install 2.2 from the OOo files instead of via Synaptic. I think it is possible to fix it, but I can't remember how I did it. I remember that after I fixed it everything was still pretty messed up -- font sizes in documents were wrong, zoom levels were wrong, etc. I also remember seeing posts here about strange symbol fonts in the menu but I ignored them because I just uninstalled 2.2 and went back to 2.04 under Edgy. Anyway, I rebooted the computer just on general principles. When it came back up I launched OOo Writer. The strange symbol fonts were gone and normal fonts were back. But Ctrl+Shift+u no longer worked.:(:( Subsequently I uninstalled both openoffice.org-gtk and -gnome and then reinstalled just -gtk. The strange symbol font was back and Ctrl-Shift +u was working again. So apparently the problem is related the openoffice.org-gtk. However, to refresh other information from previously in this thread, Ctrl+Shift +u was working fine and I had no problems at all with OOo until just the other day when Ctrl+Shift+u stopped working. I did not install or uninstall any new packages. All I did was edit my user dictionary, and I'm not even sure that had anything to do with it. Does anyone remember anything about the strange symbol fonts, -gtk, -gnome, and related issues? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
