--SUOF0GtieIMvvwua Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hello, I've just installed the openoffice-1.1.0_1 package under FreeBSD-4.8, plus the required dependencies: glib-1.2.10_10 gtk-1.2.10_11 ORBit-0.5.17_1 OpenOffice starts and runs quite happily. However there's a problem when I import an existing presentation into simpress. When viewed at 100%, the fonts look fine; but when viewed at any other scaling (including when running a slideshow, or printing to a postscript file), the spacing is completely wrong and looks a mess. The attached .ppt file demonstrates the problem; the attached .ps file is the result from 'print handouts' and gives an idea what I see on my screen when I have a non-100% zoom. The further out I zoom, the worse it looks. Note that the original file actually came from Applix but was exported as PowerPoint 97 format. I don't think this is relevant though, because how OpenOffice displays the file depends on what zoom level you select; which to my mind makes it definitely a problem with the rendering, not the source. However, it's not at all clear to me whether this is a bug in FreeBSD, XFree86, X fonts, the JVM, or OpenOffice itself; and so I'd appreciate if someone else could try replicating this problem on a different platform. Misc information: * I tried applying the rtld-symlookup.diff patch to my ld-elf; the patch did not apply cleanly, I made it fit by hand, but unfortunately found that my system broke after installing the new ld-elf.so.1 (it would not even start KDE, complaining about missing symbols in libraries that were definitely there), so I rolled back to the original one. * I presumably have some sort of Java VM available on my machine, but I've no idea what or where it is :-) Does OpenOffice come with its own VM? I did compile jdk-1.3 (I think) a long time ago, it took hours to build from ports, but I thought I had removed it afterwards. There's certainly no 'javac' on my box at the moment. $ locate jdk | grep -v ports $ ls /usr/local/lib/*jdk* ls: /usr/local/lib/*jdk*: No such file or directory $ ls /usr/local/lib/*java* /usr/local/lib/libkjava.la /usr/local/lib/libkjava.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libkjava.so $ pkg_info -W /usr/local/lib/libkjava.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libkjava.so.1 was installed by package kdelibs-3.1 $ Hmm, I doubt that's it...! Many thanks, Brian Candler. --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua--
