I'm having a little problem with fonts in Openoffice. The menu across the top says: "(F)", "(E)", "(V)", "(I)", "(O)", "(T)", "(W)", "(H)"
Instead of: "File", "Edit", "View", "Insert", "Format", "Tools", "Window", "Help" All the submenus are likewise effected. I'm not sure if that is a good description. Any case, a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at a snapshot of the mess: http://individual.utoronto.ca/bonert/ooo_fonts_kaputt.png How did I manage this master-piece? It took me just one command: # apt-get install kde After that OOo (OpenOffice.org) was screwed. Why? I don't know. Theories. --- 1. OOo is at fault The openoffice.org upgrade got screwed. 2. kde is at fault -- (seems like a long shot) It has something to do with the fact that I installed kde-base and a few other components first (since the package 'kde' had been broken... for a few months). --- What I tried: 1. $ mv .openoffice .openoffice.old $ openoffice # restart OOo It then complains that .sversionrc points to "file:///home/michael/.openoffice/1.0.2" so... $ mv .sversionrc .sversionrc.old $ openoffice # restart OOo result: problem still not solved. 2. -- maybe my kde config is a bit different than the usual. $ mv .kde .kde.old logout log back in (kde -- will regenerate ".kde" using defaults) result: nothing ----- I then looked at some of the package info: stokes:/home/michael# COLUMNS=132 dpkg --list |grep openoffice ii openoffice.org 1.1.0-3 high-quality office productivity suite ii openoffice.org-bin 1.1.0-3 OpenOffice.org office suite binary files ii openoffice.org-debian-files 1.1.0-3+1 Debian specific parts of OpenOffice.org ii openoffice.org-help-en 1.1+20030814-3 OpenOffice.org office suite help (English) rc openoffice.org-l10n-en 1.1.0-1 English (US) language package for openoffice.org ii openoffice.org-l10n-zh-tw 1.1.0-3 Chinese Traditional language package for openoffice.org Any one see a problem here? I don't. However, I didn't like the fact that 'openoffice.org-l10n-zh-tw' was installed; I didn't remember installing it and, also, don't have any use for it. I tried to remove it: ----- stokes:/home/michael# apt-get remove openoffice.org-l10n-zh-tw Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: oooqs-kde openoffice.org openoffice.org-bin openoffice.org-debian-files openoffice.org-help-en openoffice.org-l10n-zh-tw 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 202MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. ----- What strikes me as strange is that basically all the openoffice files depend on it. Am I the only one that thinks this (openoffice.org-l10n-zh-tw) dependency is strange? -- ASIDE - the two packages not upgraded are 'kdebase' and 'kcontrol' (kcontrol has given me problems -- I had to go back to an older deb I had lying around in /var/cache/apt/archives/ -- kdebase was complaining about a dependency problem with kcontrol) -- Any help would be much appreciated. -- System Information -- Software: Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel: Linux version 2.6.0-test7 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.2 (Debian)) #1 Mon Oct 27 21:34:51 EST 2003 Desktop Env.: KDE 3.1.1 Hardware: Athlon 2200 XP ASUS A7N8X Motherboard ASUS V8420 - NVIDIA GeForce 4 512 MB RAM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
