Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs
What current OOo 1.1.0? The latest version of the Fedora RPM of OOo is still 1.1.0-6. Also, whereas on Red Hat 9, xfontsel on Red Hat 9 showed both the condensed and normal versions of the Nimbus Sans L font, xfontsel only shows the normal version of the font--and the files for both variants of the font are on the system. BTW, I suggest that you look at a probably related bug "Nimbus Sans is only displayed condensed in AbiWord" <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109908> Looks like there are problems all around getting the "condensed" vs. "normal" stuff straight.
I mean latest OOo in rawhide. That is openoffice.org-1.1.0-28
Given that I did *not* want to install the whole of Rawhide, I crossed my fingers and tried installing the Rawhide version of the openoffice.org RPM (1.1.0-28) on regular old Fedora Core 1. Unfortunately, it had dependencies that apparently are only satisfied by Rawhide, namely libgnomecups >= 0.1.6-1, libdb_cxx-4.2.so, and libgnomecups-1.0.so.1. AFAIK, Fedora Core 1 doesn't even have the libgnomecups package. Looks like verifying this bug fix means getting closer to the bleeding edge than I really want to go.
j.j., can you attempt to install the RPMs at this address please? You will not have to install anything else... http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/ooo-rh9/ Thanks!
> "j.j., can you attempt to install the RPMs at this address please? You will not have to install anything else..." The RPMS install, but OpenOffice dies with "'/usr/lib/ooo-1.1.0/program/setup -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf -v -nogui >& ~/.openoffice-install-log'" .openoffice-install-log says: "/usr/lib/ooo-1.1.0/program/setup.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libsb645li.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" The file /usr/lib/ooo-1.1.0/program/libsb645li.so does exist, BTW.
Erg... Could you modify the /usr/bin/ooffice script as follows? WriteVersionFile %config if ($changed); } # We can safely do the installation now #----- INSERT THESE TWO LINES # We also must make sure setup can find the libraries it needs my $setup_cmd = "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SystemInstallDir:$SystemInstallDir/program $SetupProgram -R:$SetupConfig -v -nogui"; #----- if (!$Debug) { $setup_cmd .= " >& ~/.openoffice-install-log"; }
Hmm, sorry, don't insert but just modify the "my $setup_cmd" line to be as it looks above. That will work.
Ah, actually just download and use the /usr/bin/ooffice file I will attach here.
Created attachment 98627 [details] place this file in /usr/bin/ooffice, replacing what's currently there
> Created an attachment (id=98627) > place this file in /usr/bin/ooffice, replacing what's currently there That worked, mostly. Nimbus Sans L displays properly, but Avant Garde Gothic is wrong, though. It looks exactly like Nimbus Sans L, when it should look much closer to URW Gothic L. If you run man -t grops > grops.ps, and then view grops.ps, you should get a good idea of the difference between Avant Garde and Helvetica (a.k.a. Nimbus Sans L).

This stuff is most likely fixed in latest Rawhide versions, but that is not going to get backported to RH9... :( Closing as fixed.
