It appears to involve language/locale stuff. For me, the following seems to work with the 2.4 package (perhaps not with 2.3.1_1) on 6.3-RELEASE. 1. As root, edit /etc/login.conf to set your system language. Mine is now: # diff /etc/login.conf.0 /etc/login.conf 45c45,46 < :umask=022: --- > :umask=022:\ > :lang=en_US.UTF-8: 2. As root, update the login.conf.db: # cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf 3. Log out and log in again. # echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 4. As root, force openoffice to use your language (the -f seems critical): # openoffice.org-SRC680_m242-setofficelang -a -f en-US (Note that's en-US, not en_US.) (The user who's going to run openoffice might need to do the same thing. It also might help, if problems persist, to remove/rename your ~/.openoffice.org2 directory and start fresh.) Good luck. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
