Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 16898
cant set interface user font
Last modified: 2003-12-04 15:32:08 UTC
in 1.1 beta amd beta2 i could, but not anymore and it seems that the bistream vera is set as default and I am unable to type in input boxes (as user data) hungarian (latin 2) accented characters.
- it is impossible to change interface user font - bitstream vera font (that is set by default) does not contain latin2 accented characters (as eg. 0151 or 171)
Reassigned to Ulf.
You probably mean: that the font used in Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/User Data is inapropriate for hungarian special characters (latin2). This is the GUI font. Thus somewhere in dialogs and menus you should also see defects, right? (Assuming you are using a hungarian localized version, not the english one.) According to issue 15238 this should work. Ok, but it doesn't. Pls. make sure you have a section hr-HR in your OOo_1.1/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu. If not, pls upgrade to a new OOo version. grep hr-HR OOo_1.1/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu <node oor:name="hr-HR" oor:op="replace"> grep -A 34 hr-HR OOo_1.1/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu | grep -A 4 UI_SANS <prop oor:name="UI_SANS" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>Andale Sans UI;Arial Unicode MS;Lucida Sans Unicode;Tahoma;Luxi Sans;Interface User;WarpSans;Geneva;Tahoma;MS Sans Serif;Helv;Dialog;Albany;Lucida;Helvetica;Charcoal;Chicago;Arial;Helmet;Interface System;Sans Serif</value> </prop> </node> You probably don't have XFree86 4.x, thus the font "Luxi Sans" does not exist on your Linux box, right? Type: xlsfonts | grep -i "Luxi Sans". "Luxi Sans" is typically the first font on Linux boxes found in the fallback list (see above) and should work. If it is not available, probably "Interface User" is used. See issue 16527 for an explanation on "Interface User". But "Interface User" is inappropriate for you. Recommendations: 1. Pls. make sure that you have the latest OOo snapshot. 2. Make sure the locale is set correctly 3. upgrading to XFree86 4.3 wouldn't be a bad idea also 4. if you are running GNOME2, see issue 17037 for a convenient way to set the GUI font. 5. you may also wish to see issue 16527, which is basically the same than this one (setting to 'duplicate'). 6. change the GUI font by a font substitution. Do the following: /Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/Fonts a. [x] Apply replacement table b. in left combo box type: Andale Sans UI (which is the first one in the fallback list; see above) c. in right combo box select: Helvetica d. Apply the substitution with the green mark on the right. e. Now only mark the check box "Always". Leave "Screen" blank. [changed 'Component' to 'gsl'] *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 16527 ***
Excuse me: grep should be done for hu-HU in your case instead of hr-HR. (The result should be the same anyway.)
us->cp: if this one is not duplicate to issue 16527 than pls. take care of this one also. Thx.
Changing owner to CP.
the UI font has been set to Lucidux for all Latin-2 languages. So this works for me in OpenOffice.org 1.1. Please check
hello Reuss, please use the new OpenOffice.org 1.1 version. Make sure to have the Luxi Sans fonts installed. I will close this bug soon if I don't here any objections.
