[Mac OS X] 1.9.xxx status

Hi,

Just for the record, macosx11 is ready for QA, and close to be Approved 
by QA.
This means that we have (at least) a very interesting version of 
OpenOffice.org 1.9.xxx for Mac OS X


For the one interested,  I have uploaded experimental builds here :
<http://ooofr.org/telechargement/macosx/2.0/m130/>, only for french and 
en-US locales (sorry, not much place).

Maho Nakata who proposed himself to provide official builds, will 
continue, and propose soon all versions, for a lot of locales.

FYI, these build does contain last modifications we made :

Installation :
- double click on .dmg
- put the icon in /Applications ( prefered... )
- dock the icon and enjoy !

Use of gtk or kde themes (experimental) :

If you want to use gtk or kde themes, everything gnome or kde must be 
installed before (of course), else gen plugin is used. Some tools like 
gtk-switch-themes + themes ( see <http://art.gnome.org> for themes ) are 
necessary.

To enable themes , add the following lines in soffice script

# comments
# possible plugins are "gen", "kde" or "gtk"
# nothing will use gen by default
# just replace with the one you want

export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk"

# end customization


Another nice thing is crystal icons inside (still experimental : you're 
warned ) :

Tools -> Options -> View
In Icon size and style, choose crystal  :-)

Small size are my prefered, up to you for the choice  ;-)


Apple native fonts are now automatically extracted if and only *if and 
only if* fondu is installed (via fink or maybe darwinports -not sure-).

I provide a .pkg of fondu, available here : 
<http://eric.bachard.free.fr/Jap/fondu_040527+_0.2.pkg.zip>
(be careful : I have not tested this version of fondu with Tiger...).

Important : this version of fondu (sources availables at the same URL, 
does include a patch for complex fonts (Japanese and maybe some Chinese 
fonts)

If you add new fonts after OOo2.0 installation, just delete the file 
named ".fondudone" located in :

/Applications/OpenOffice.org 
2.0.app/Contents/openoffice.org/share/fonts/truetype

Note : replace /Applications with the folder wher you put OpenOffice.org 
2.0 while instalation.
Next OOo start, fondu will extract again all the available fonts. We'll 
try to improve this in future versions.



Many thanks to Stephan Schaefer and Tino Rachui. They have made an 
incredible work recently !




Regards,
eric bachard
