In fact both English and Chinese version of OOo 1.1.0 are the same except the latter having Chinese fonts, Chinese input device and all menu displayed in Chinese. It is true to all Office Suites running on Windows and Linux which I have experienced previously. The same has been confirmed by the Moderator of '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 'users@openoffice.org'. Unfortunately upto now I could not get help from there because the folks reading my posting are running either Linux or Windows. The last advice received by me from the moderator of 'dev@zh.openoffice.org' was; Try to create symbolic link of true type fonts at $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 ...... /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/share/fonts/truetype/opens___.ttf Is 'opens___.ttf' crashed? Where shall I create a symbolic link ? 2) OOo is setup on /home/user/OpenOffice.org/program/ If there are more than one user, such as; /home/user-A/OpenOffice.org/program/ /home/user-B/OpenOffice.org/program/ /home/user-C/OpenOffice.org/program/ 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 running for more than 17 hrs because I am running a slow PC. Anyway I will stop after its finish leaving it there. I am running FreeBSD on a 40G hard drive, still having space there. $ df -h Filesystem 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 found it there. I shall install it after 'bison' finished. > I currently can't use Chinese input, however.

I learnt a bitter lesson previously on running Gentoo after 'emerge -u world' upgrading the complete system. It turned out the whole system could not work afterwards because it also reconfigured config files. I forgot to put '-i' tag on upgrade. Finally I took several days and lot of effort to revive the Gentoo box. But update should not be so worse. I am not very experienced on FreeBSD I found a FreeBSD user group in Beijing, I trust, on web but all postings are in simplified Chinese. I can read and input simplified Chinese using Traditional Chinese input method by selecting the simplied Chinese font. But this PC, FreeBSD 5.2, can't input Chinese. To post for assistance there I have to jump to another PC. That will be my last restort if I could not find solution from this list and/or 'users@openoffice.org' B.R. Stephen
