There are places, especially to do with font rendering, when displaying something different isn't necessarily a bug: pixel perfect interoperability is really impossible. But in all other cases, yes, it's a bug. > How can I know if the > particular bug is in Koffice, Open Office, or the ODF spec? Unless you know the spec really well, and one of the office suites from the inside, you probably cannot determine who has made the mistake. If you report a problem to us and we determine the problem is with openoffice, we will report that to openoffice. > I am > considering moving to Koffice but as my colleagues use Open Office > (many of them switching from MS Office at my suggestion) > interoperability is very important to me.

We're all for interoperability, but please remember that KOffice 2.0 is platform release meant for developers to build on, not for end users' daily needs. We're getting closer, but we're not there yet. -- Boudewijn Rempt | http://www.valdyas.org ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
