Ok
Thanks for the reply:
I've solved this problem at least on my computer.
I've searched on the internet for a few couple of
hours and I discovered that I wasn't alone with this
problem.
It figures that the POSIX locale was incorrect. When
typed
#locale
I didn't get LANG=pt_BR.ISO8859-1. Instead I got
LANG= (wich is the default instalation for FreeBSD
5.4).
In order to get it right to all users on my computer
I had to do the following changes:
On /etc/login.conf:
default:\
:...:\
:charset=ISO8859-1:\
:lang=pt_BR.ISO8859-1:
And in order to get it right to the root user:
on /root/.cshrc
I appended those commands:
setenv LANG pt_BR.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_CTYPE pt_BR.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_COLLATE pt_BR.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_MONETARY pt_BR.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_NUMERIC pt_BR.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_MESSAGES pt_BR.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_ALL pt_BR.ISO8859-1
The effect was instantaneous. It seems OpenOffice
seeks POSIX locale configurations rather than X11
keyboard locales (they can be different). POSIX from
what I understood is the black screen comand line
configuration and X11 the nice windows thing.
Yes, The instalation was for a pt-BR computer with
all the possible setings on Language settings in
Options according.
Thanks for the reply!

Hi,
My name is João Francisco and I recently have
installed OpenOffice 2.0 with selected language
pt-BR.
I run a station wich has an non-US keyboard, the
pattern of the keyboard is ABNT2.
My X server is correctly configured and I have
other
applications wich work properly with my ABNT2
Keyboard.
But for some reason wich is not clear to me
OpenOffice
2.0, even the one installed with pt-BR menus
ignores
the keyboard layout and insists in the US
configuration.
I would like to know if somebody knows what is
going
on or if there is any documentation wich I
couldn't
find so I can correct this nuissance.
Question. What is the setting in Tools Options
Language settings
Languages Language of User interface? The rest
should also be set
according to your environment. Likewise for any
templates. If they are
set correctly for pt-br then I suggest that you

evaluated.
