1. OpenOffice doesn't display when launched from the droplet.
soffice.bin is running, but nothing on the screen. If I run
soffice.bin directly from an xterm, then it displays. I did a bit
of research, and read about problems with font problems dating from
Nov 2006. Is this the same problem?
Someone already responded to this, but the official reason is that
OpenOffice.org was doing bad hackery to launch itself. It's a bug
in OpenOffice.org's droplet. Please contact them about ETA on a fix
I've added an alias to my .kshrc, for the moment.
2. Intermittently, when I start X11 (from the icon that I put in
the Dock), then xterm starts, does not display, and consumes 100%
CPU.
This isn't a bug in X11. It's a bug in tty allocation and is a
known issue. Please report the bug to "vote" to get it fixed. The
more complaints there are about it, the more of a problem it
appears, so the more likely it is to be fixed.
Where does one report such bugs?
3. Poor font rendering e.g. when running Solaris x86 Opera over ssh
-X, browsing www.eetimes.com. Opera native Mac OS X displays this
fine, and on the Solaris desktop it's fine as well. But the remote
display on Mac X11 shows the fonts as if they are low resolution
bitmap fonts.
This is less straight forward.
1) What is your remote browser using to get font data (fontconfig or
server provided fonts)? If it's fontconfig, then it's entirely
client-based and is an issue specifically with your solaris box.
2) If it's using server fonts, then try changing the font path as
was described a couple weeks ago. This will be fixed in the next
release.
I'm not too sure for 1). I did a search on 'opera fontconfig', and I
found a suggestion to set the option
Enable Core X Fonts=0
in the opera6.ini file, and it seems to have done the trick.
A+
Paul
