Japanese fonts settings
Hi. I wrote how to use Japanese fonts by OOo because I found someone wanted to know how to use Japanese from the archives of this ML. This instruction doesn't contain how to use Japanese XIM clients though. 1. At first, you have to install Japanese TrueType fonts. Several fonts are available by apt. I recommend 'ttf-kochi-gothic' and 'ttf-kochi-mincho' because these are popular in Japan as much as I know. So, type this: $ apt-get install ttf-kochi-gothic ttf-kochi-mincho 2. Make fonts.dir for these fonts. They will be installed at /usr/share/fonts/ truetype/kochi. You can use mkttfdir supplied by the 'fttools' package. Like this: $ cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi $ mkttfdir . 3. Add FontPath to your XF86Config-4. Edit XF86Config-5 and add the line in Files Section. FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/" You also add this line in Modules section. Load "xtt" As much as I know, we can't use freetype instead of xtt. I don't know why. If you are using GNOME2 and Antialiasing, you can't use Japanese fonts also. Use xtt and turn off anti-aliasing. 4. Restart X. 5. After that, run xfontsel and confirm that you can see these two fonts. Select 'kochi gothic' in 'fmly' and 'jisx0208.1983' in 'rgstry'. If it success, you can see Japanese fonts. Now you can use Japanese fonts on X. 6. Run OOo and open Tools -> Options -> Languages Settings -> Language. * Enable Asian languages support. * Select 'Japanese' for Default languages for documents. 7. That's all :-). You can select 'Kochi Gothic' from the font selection box in the menu bar . I hope this helps. -- Masatoshi Iwasaki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: [ANNOUNCE] OpenOffice.org 1.0.1rc and status update
Hi, Yes the upstream is aware of this. What I tried to expalin in my last mail was that changes in both hyphenation dictionary format and the creation of shared dictionaries (as opposed to user specific dictionaries only) necessitated that the user space from OOo 1.0 not be used for OOo 1.0.1 In general this will only be true for the stable series. Once the development branch 642 becomes active again, you can expect user land pieces to change as needed to get to the next point. Hope this explains things. BTW, I wuld like to see more action on the official OOo mailing lists from distribution based developers. I see Chris and Peter and Jan actively on these lists but still don't see some good patches (stl_gcc.h compiled with gcc 3.1.1 for example make it to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists or elsewhere. So I still am learning things from just reading your debian OOo list since your problems are related to ours. Hope this helps.

Upstream behaviour in this regard is of course rather broken - config files should really be importable for minor version number changes. Of course, that's not something the Debian packagers should be fixing, but the OOo developers. Do you need some more presence on the upstream mailing lists politely asking for upgradeability?

Actually we (upstreamers) were going to use the same OpenOffice.org1.0 but since there have been changes in the format of the hyphenation dictionaries and movements of dictioarnies to cetralized shared locations then the old ~/OpenOffice.org1.0 user dicrectory contents conflicted with these changes and we were forced to rename it to prevent errors. > Maybe we'll all end up saying 1.0.1 is perfect and we don't need to keep > the older 1.0.0 user directory lying around.

That's what upstream calls it :-/ Because we may have these directories lying around and becoming disused, it is better for them to be visible, and the closer we are to upstream's names, the less potential confusion we have. 1.0.1 significantly reduced the gap between our code and the .debs and IMO that is good. I hang out on #openoffice.org and see user queries being greeted in surprise by non-debian people when there is no ~/OpenOffice1.0 directory. > couldn't you move > ~/.openoffice out of the way if present and install into that > directory? That would break downgrades to 1.0.0. The ~/.openoffice name was chosen before we knew that upgrades would have to have a totally new directory. Also, having a hidden directory means that users don't realise that there may be unused OOo directories lying around in their home directories. That is maybe acceptable for one version, but not multiple versions. I did not implement the 'perfect' solution - just something that would work immediately, keep user problems to a minimum, allow up- and downgrades and be more similar to upstream's behaviour. Those were my initial priorities and I did not want to spend a lot of time on it until I had seen discussion about it after the official release. Maybe we'll all end up saying 1.0.1 is perfect and we don't need to keep the older 1.0.0 user directory lying around. I just don't know at this point - I need to wait and see how things work out.

[ANNOUNCE] OpenOffice.org 1.0.1rc and status update
OpenOffice.org 1.0.1rc2 === I've finally got a build of 1.0.1 that seems to work well, and 1.0.1rc2 should be available from the mirrors [1] by the time you read this. If you wish to stay with 1.0.0-6 while possible bugs are shaken out, please see the section about the new 'testing' apt source below. The official 1.0.1 tarball is likely to be released this week; the remaining issues are with non-Linux builds. There is a detailed changelog for 1.0.0->1.0.1 here: http://tools.openoffice.org/releases/changelog.html Unfortunately, upstream have not provided a good upgrade solution for user settings from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1. Having seen corruption of settings in the user directory by 1.0.0 on several occasions, I am not prepared to provide a simplistic upgrade script that simply copies settings over from the 1.0.0, because any corruption will be carried forward and produce unexpected additional problems. My guess is that once 1.0.1 is out and users start discussing/complaining on the upstream lists, there will be discussion about how settings can be presevered and possibly a better solution can be found. For now I have modified our package to do the following: - Place the user install in ~/OpenOffice.org1.0.1 (this is the default for installs from the .tar.gz, too) - If the wrapper sees an old settings directory in ~/.openoffice, print a warning that this directory is no longer used so the user can delete it when they are sure that the upgrade to 1.0.1 was sucessful. This way, it is possible to leave the settings from 1.0.0 around so that downgrades are possible should 1.0.1 turn out to be problematic. New 'testing' apt source After having uploaded a broken 1.0.1rc1 and confused a couple of people during the short period it was available, I have decided to make a new 'testing' source available in addition to the 'unstable' source: - testing - deb testing main contrib - Contains Package versions that have had a period of testing in 'unstable' and are not known to introduce new problems. - When a package set has been used for few days and is known not to introduce new bugs, it is made available in 'testing' by copying the Packages indexes from 'unstable' - Should be suitable for running in production environments. - Not exactly equivalent to the current testing/Woody in the Debian archives - these packages are still compiled on sid systems, although I try to make it easy to install on a Woody machine by mirroring the packages from sid that are needed (currently libgcc1 and possibly libfreetype6 in the near future). If we get round to explicitly compiling packages on Woody systems, they will end up in a 'woody' aptable source. - unstable - deb unstable main contrib - This is the place where new packages versions will be made available first. - After a period of testing (the length depending on how significant the changes were), and provided no new bugs are found, the package versions will be made available in 'testing': [upload] ---> unstable --[manual intervention]--> testing OpenOffice.org for PowerPC == Jan has been working hard on the PowerPC port, but progress is very slow. gcc 2.95 is no longer supported by the upstream developer for 1.0.1 (there is only one volunteer in addition to Jan), and there are still problems with builds of 1.0.1 with gcc3.1.1 on Debian and SuSE. Several problems have been uncovered in the glibc ports and other libraries. It looks like an official 1.0.1 upstream version will not be available at the same time as the other architectures, and consequently a .deb will also take longer. Thanks Jan for your hard work on this! Preperations for upload to Debian main == These are the remaining showstoppers that I am aware of: - Remove non-free Java build dependency. At build time, Java is needed to create a set of XML files which are essential for the rest of the build. There are also Java components which are built later on and need non-free Java JDK APIs. We are hoping to alter the bootstrap process to use a free JDK and not build the rest. Peter is working on this. - Fix the remaining policy issues in the packaging. There are some files with the wrong permissions, and the documentation is not all installed in /usr/share/doc. We also need manpages for the openoffice and spadmin binaries. Is there anyone willing to put a manpage together for us? That is a contribution you can make without having to build the package. - Make .debs of libstlport4.5 that have been compiled with gcc3.0/1 and upload. These are now packaging/policy-level issues so the .debs themselves should be reasonably stable now for normal use. You may like to consider using the new 'testing' apt source if you wish to install OOo in production environments. Reporting bugs == Just a rem

Did you check /usr/share/openoffice.org/doc/README.Debian? Maybe you have an S3 graphics card, or perhaps the font troubleshooting guide can give you some tips.

OpenOffice crashes when entering menus
Hi Has anyone experienced anything like this? I have browsed through these mailinglist and didnt find answer from there. So, installation goes fine (but in some parts the screen doesnt seem to update quite correctly, but works) and when i start openoffice and take for example FILE - OPEN - and try to enter some directory, it floods my screen full of something like lines or something. Linux gets stuck and nothing helps except reboot. I have no idea why is this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
