Hi Marcel, unfortunately this seems not to work for me. BTW I'm using the OpenOffice 1.1.0 from SuSE 9.0. The font of the menus is changing but directories and file names containing umlaut chars are still not handled properly. Actually they are displayed as having length zero, dirs are not listed at all. Even if I make a symlink to a dir where the name of the link does not contain an umlaut but the dir itself does, I cannot select this directory. Thus it seems to me not a problem of font alone. I have tried export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN and export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 Friedrich Am Mittwoch, 21. April 2004 20:02 schrieb akimbo337@gmx.de:
Hello Friedrich,
I had the same problem with japanese & german, here's how I got it fixed: In OpenOffice, go to Extras/Optionen/Schriftarten, activate "Ersetzungstabelle anwenden", choose Schriftart: Nimbus Sans, Ersetzen durch: Unifont (at least, these values worked for me). Click the green hook to activate the rule, it should now appear in the box below. You also have to select "Immer" and "Bildschirm". Also, under Extras/Optionen/Zugänglichkeit, deactivate the option called "Systemschriftart für die Benutzeroberfläche verwenden". Click "ok" and it should be fine.

Hi,
when I start OO in a Chinese locale on my otherwise German SuSE 9.0 system, using
export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN (or zh_CN.UTF-8, or LANG=...., or similar)
I can input Chinese characters using SCIM, but the file dialog of OO (Open etc) does not handle file or directory names containing German umlaut characters. Such names are not recognized as pertaining to OO files or to directories.
Any help?
