 Posted: Tue May 20, 2008 10:15 am Post subject: Open Office - Weird Alphabet used? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Firstly, not sure if this is the right place, but Its the only forum I managed to find sensible open office threads - feel free to move it if its wrong.
Basicly at some point within the last month or so, my open office install did what it normally does, which is to ask me to register etc, like its running for the first time.
However, once it started up the whole alphabet is scrambled, while the text of the documents is fine, the text for the menus, dialogs, etc appears to be in a cyrlic alphabet. Whats strange is the text appears to be spelt normal, its merely rendered in a strange font face.

Hey, I realize you cannot really see the text, so try this as best you can. Let me know if it doesn't work.
I found the languages setting for OOo. Goto Tools (3rd menu from the right) -> Options (Last on the menu). Goto Language Settings which is the third item from the top in the tree list. Then goto Languages which is the first item in Languages Settings after you click the expand button (usually a plus sign...but it might be different for you).
Once you are in there, the User interface is the first drop down. Locale setting is the second. Default currency is the third drop down. Language type is the forth drop down.
If that doesn't work, try removing the .ooo-2.* in your home directory and if that doesn't work, try emerging openoffice-bin (unless that is what you have installed, then I would try installing openoffice) and then switching back. I guess the other thing you could try is reinstalling the myspell libraries.
Good luck!! Hope it works for you!!

Thanks for the tips, i tried them all and sadly none of them worked....
Unless i can find a solution soon, i have no idea what im going to do - I can't work with non-working menus and I'm not enough of a coder to understand whats going wrong. |

MUCHOS LOVE! <3 <3 <3
That fixed it - Gnome had been set to use "System Symbols" for all the fonts - seems open office didn't like that for some reason (although all the gnome menus appeared fine, hense why I didn't realise that was the problem).
Changed it to serif and its all fixed.
Cheers \o/ |
