I must admit that the filters are what impress me most about Star Office.
My main complaint about it is that it is a bit slow and quite bloated. I
use StarCalc as my main speadsheet. I've tried Siag, Wingz, and Gnumeric,
and none have impressed me. 5.1a also has a really good PowerPoint filter
if you have to deal with presentations.
I still prefer WordPerfect 8 for my word processing, and haven't found the
screen rendering of fonts to be that awful. It's fast and has, IMHO, a
slightly better feature set. The multilingual support is much better, since
you aren't limited to three language modules. I have the shrink wrapped
version with the font installer, and have added about 700 Type 1 fonts to
it. The fonts that come with the download version, IMHO, stink, and without
the font installer, you can't add any.
Just another two shekels worth...
Later,
Caity
