I have 2 SuSE 8.2 installations, both were installed in Japanese from the beginning. Both use GNOME. The default language for my installation is ja_JP. I believe that I've installed every "fonts" package with the word "japanese" in its summary or description. I installed OpenOffice.org from the SuSE distro. Here is the problem: * On one system OpenOffice does not list Japanese fonts at all. (eg. no Mincho or Watanabe...). On the other system there is one font that supports Japanese: Gothic. I'm not sure how one system would have it and the other wouldn't. * Ironic: the system with Mincho is a laptop with a 4GB HD. I optimized the installation to fit on this HD The system that doesn't have it has 80+GB HD... no space restrictions there. I also have problems with Ximian. It just doesn't show text correctly. Similar issue with Sylpheed. Yet, I have a lot of other stuff that works: Vim, Mozilla, kterm, kiten, kate, MrProject, Nautilus, XMMS, etc.... Am I the only one in the world that installed SuSE 8.2 in Japanese, tried to use Ximian or OpenOffice with SuSE 8.2 installed right from the installation DVD only to find them both unusable? Is it customary to have to do a lot of font configuration for these types of applications? (I am mostly text based
