Aim now works. The qwerty problem is not a serious issue since the system will be rigged with a korean keyboard. I am doing the administration only. Openoffice does print korean letters and does offer the beakmuk fonts for textprocesing.
There is only one problem left. The openoffice menus are not working. I still get "???" on all menues. Probably the right font missing? But which font do i have to install? I have tried the OO1.0 upstream version, the same problem. Regards -- Juergen Lueters [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.intranet-engineering.de http://www.sv.lueters.de
