In fact both=20 English and Chinese version of OOo 1.1.0 are the same except the latter=20 having Chinese fonts, Chinese input device and all menu displayed in Chines= e. =20 It is true to all Office Suites running on Windows and Linux which I have=20 experienced previously. The same has been confirmed by the Moderator of=20 'dev@zh.openoffice.org' while I installed OOo 1.1.0 on Gentoo last year. Currently I am also subscribing to 'dev@zh.openoffice.org' and=20 'users@openoffice.org'. Unfortunately upto now I could not get help from=20 there because the folks reading my posting are running either Linux or=20 Windows. The last advice received by me from the moderator of=20 'dev@zh.openoffice.org' was; Try to create symbolic link of true type fonts at=20 $OOoROOT\share\fonts\truetype. OOo should be able to recognise it. In response I posted a reply; 1) # locate truetype /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/share/fonts/truetype =2E..... /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/share/fonts/truetype/opens___.ttf Is 'opens___.ttf' crashed? =A0 Where shall I create a symbolic link ? 2) OOo is setup on =A0 /home/user/OpenOffice.org/program/=20 If there are more than one user, such as; /home/user-A/OpenOffice.org/program/=20 /home/user-B/OpenOffice.org/program/=20 /home/user-C/OpenOffice.org/program/=20 etc. shall I create a symbolic link to each user, Up to now I have not received a further reply.

Oh, sorry I already started installing 'bison'. The installation has been= =20 running for more than 17 hrs because I am running a slow PC. Anyway I will= =20 stop after its finish leaving it there. I am running FreeBSD on a 40G hard= =20 drive, still having space there. $ df -h =46ilesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a 248M 42M 186M 18% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad4s1e 248M 3.4M 225M 1% /tmp /dev/ad4s1f 35G 3.2G 29G 10% /usr /dev/ad4s1d 248M 22M 206M 10% /var > > Kind advise shall I uninstall all of them and reinstall them > > from their tarballs > > Well, no.

I learnt a bitter lesson previously on running Gentoo after 'emerge -u worl= d'=20 upgrading the complete system.
