I know that this may be not very good solution for you (as you just installed KDE 2.2.2), but: Try to install KDE3, and KOffice 1.1 compiled for KDE3. Most of font problems disappeared in KDE3 (comparing to KDE2) The only remained problem with Palationo will be fixed in QT 3.0.3 (according to Lars Knoll) | | I should mention that we are migrating from Windows, and normally I would | insert these characters using the Alt+ -- which appears | to not be an option under Linux. | | Gordon Edwards. | | ______________________________________________________________ | ...for all your todays -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
