However, these are useable when StarOffice isn't running with the current installation procedure. To fix this: 1) add a BUILD_DEPENDS for ttmkfdir (it's in ports/x11-fonts); 2) run ttmkfdir post-install to generate a fonts.dir file; 3) optionally, copy the fonts.dir file to fonts.scale; 4) suggest in the pkg-message that the installer should either: a) add /usr/local/staroffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype to their font paths by editing XF86Config; OR b) run xset to add the font path and re-hash the fonts; See the AbiWord port for some ideas. -- jmc MacroHard -- the perfection of form over substance, marketing over performance, and greed over design . . . P.S. StarOffice 6.0 seems to install o.k (one share library fails to register during the -net install), but freezes on the splash screen on startup. The resulting soffice.bin zombie appears totally unkillable--I've had to reboot. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
