More than one language packages

Submitted by chrizio on March 18, 2010 - 5:22pm

If to take the regular version of OOo one can install more than one language packs.
Thanks to the extensions concept of OOo.
After that it is possible to switch the gui between localizations supported by these language packs. Application restart is necessary.
Will this work also with OOo Portable?

That's what I see in the bullets menu. When exporting to PDF bullets are shown as squares, even if they appear differently in Writer. Even the simple ones like:

3.1 portable seems to work fine here. edit: works fine in 3.2.0 non-portable as well.

Open Office Portable Apps do not launch in Portable Apps Suite 1.6

Submitted by Furncad on March 5, 2010 - 5:47am

Have installed MojoPac and Portable Apps 1.6 on a 16GB USB thumb drive and use it on a Windows XP Pro machine.
MojoPac launches fine and Portable Apps Suite launches OK. I can launch all portable apps in Portable Apps suite except all Open Office Portable programmes. These programmes will also not launch from their icons in the Open Office Portable directory in Program Files on the USB thumb drive.
I have deactivated my firewall to no avail and reinstalled the Portable Apps Suite without solving the problem.

In 3.2 Math does not show the plus sign correctly

Submitted by rdoerrer on March 2, 2010 - 10:30am

I installed OpenOffice Suite 3.2 and found that the plus sign as in "a + b" is not shown correctly, but replaced by a square. This was not the case for Version 3.0. I assume it is a bug in the fonts.

BTW. The < and > are also replaced by squares whereas the <> is correctly shown as the NOT-EQUAL sign.

Any help?

Java Class Folder/Archive settings are lost [suggestion]

Submitted by dacm on March 1, 2010 - 2:28am

Please portablize the Class Folder/Archive settings on each OOP startup.

I understand the launcher is designed to find Java either on the host machine or in one of two standard folders within the PortableApps structure. That works great, but it also blanks the Class Folder/Archive settings in the process, which breaks features in Base associated with client-server database access through Base and OpenOffice data sources.

Specifically, it breaks OpenOffice access to Java classes in 'javasettings_Windows_x86.xml' ...

It changes this line:
