Bug#225402: Open Office Configuration fails / no italic serif fonts after work-around - UPDATE
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.0-3
---old message---
Attached you will find a error report generated by apt. It basically
says that it can't configure Open Office because the
update-openoffice-dicts program is missing and then skips the whole
setup. Installing the www.openoffice.org version first and then
installing the Debian version over it offers a work-around.

This is false. I just repeated the described steps and learned that this
is not working. Apparently i was fooled by the fact that last night the
installation over the old version from www.openoffice.org worked. Today
it doesn't work anymore. Sorry for any inconvenience.

BUG TWO - No italic in serif fonts
This, unfortunatly, creates another bug, which i also report here. If
you wish to receive two seperate reports, send an e-mail, please.
At least if you use the above mentioned work-around, Open Office looses
the ability to display serif fonts (like Nimbus Roman, URW Bookman - i
know about the Vera Serif lack of an italic font, which, btw, makes them
almost totally useless) in italic/oblique. Sans Serif fonts work without
a flaw. In Abiword everything works like expected. I am stumped.

I can't verify this anymore. The Openoffice.org version is working but
mostly ignores my GTK settings and has AA disabled. The Debian version
honored my GTK settings and had AA enabled. Maybe the cause of the
hiccup is found there.
Sorry for the mail barrage. Kind regards,
Björn
