New OOo shows right Japanese characters. --- If you can't input Japanese words in KDE(or Qt) applications, try this: # /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qtconfig Open Interface tab, and change On The Spot to Over The Spot.

Hmm, well, that's not exepected if you neither have OOo -8mdk nor fonts-ttf-japanese from today. ;-) So, that's probably because you have by chance Kochi Gothic fonts already installed. Bye, Gwenole.
[Cooker] Re: OpenOffice-ja shows wrong characters
Hi, When I did a fresh install of RC1 + updates, OO seemed to work very well under the Japanese locale. However, after I added more fonts to the system, OO comes up completely garbled in the Japanese locale. You mean add? I usually get degradation when I remove some fonts packages. OOo seems to make a mix of why it finds. Read: I know xfs open various fonts at once, at OOo startup. I'd venture to guess that it chose to use some font which doesn't support Japanese so all non-English text is unreadable. For the UI, there is Kochi Gothic but it is not packaged yet. You can change UI font in Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org, font substitution, Andale Sans UI - whatever, for screen only (on top of my head). Watanabe Mincho from fonts-ttf-japanese is really no usable. Note that whenever you start up OOo and change the locale (--lang option or other means like overriding LC_MESSAGES), the default UI font is changed to mach that locale best, modulus the font is actually there. :-( If you know other *free* and freely redistributable Japanese fonts in TrueType or Type1 format, you are very welcome to suggest them. Bye, Gwenole.

I am guessing this is similar to what utuhiro wrote in: http://www.mail-archive.com/cooker@linux-mandrake.com/msg73401.html When I did a fresh install of RC1 + updates, OO seemed to work very well under the Japanese locale.

I'd venture to guess that it chose to use some font which doesn't support Japanese so all non-English text is unreadable. Perhaps somebody can at least tell me how to change the font OO uses for its menus and dialogs so that I can change it back into something readable. A proper fix would of course be the best. Narfi ps. If this will be fixed in OOo-8mdk, then my hat's off to you!
