[osol-discuss] OS2008.05, OpenOffice: Fonts, License?
Folks; two questions regarding the OOo 2.4 packages installable via IPS in OS 2008.05: (a) No matter how often I start any of the OOo components, I am each and every time promted to go through the whole accept-license / provide username / already registered? process again. Why? Is there a way to turn this off? (b) Comparing to Firefox, Thunderbird and other applications running atop the OS / GNOME desktop, the UI fonts in OOo look somewhat strange, fuzzy, smoothened, different to the rest of the applications. Is there a reason for that? How to get along with it? Completely aside that: I know these questions are more likely to regard the OpenSolaris distribution rather than just the OpenSolaris kernel so I don't know whether they really do fit here...

Is there a reason for that? How to get along with it? Check the Font tab in the Appearance control panel. You'll want to enable the subpixel setting more than likely. -- Shawn Walker ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Shawn; first off, thanks for your help / hints on that.

Why? Is there a way to turn this off? Sounds like a bug. I haven't seen that one myself. After dealing with the system a little closer, including uninstalling the IPS provided openoffice and instead manually installing a localized build (de-DE) from openoffice.org it seems this issue is gone. [Fonts] Check the Font tab in the Appearance control panel. You'll want to enable the subpixel setting more than likely. Indeed tweaking around these settings did help, thanks. It seems however that these settings never directly change the appearance of openoffice itself just just help making the fonts in all other applications and the desktop itself look more like those in openoffice. What does make openoffice special here (the same behaviour does appear with both the oo.org and the IPS packages)?

Might be a localisation issue then. I'm using the one from pkg.opensolaris.org (ips) and it worked fine, though I am using the standard English locale.

What does make openoffice special here (the same behaviour does appear with both the oo.org and the IPS packages)? That I can't answer. Did you try restarting OO after changing the settings? I'm not certain what OO uses for its font settings... -- Shawn Walker ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
