Allcorn Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:44:49 +0000 http://news.opensuse.org/?p=7118#comment-28185 My biggest complaint about OpenOffice was that the “keyboarding” was not-at-all compatible with the Microsoft Applications. Formulas in the Spreadsheet also were not the same. These little “nuances” are IMPORTANT to folks who work with it everyday.

Hope these changes have made it into Libre Office …
I’ll give ‘er a go!

I don’t know as much about fonts as I should, but I gather many are proprietary/copyrighted so that’s often the reason that they are sometimes substituted with an alternative that might not be quite what you want. Also some software may handle fonts differently or inconsistently. It doesn’t help that proprietary software developers seem to delight in making it hard to use their documents with open source!

First make sure you have installed any available font packages. Then if you have an issue, ask in the forums – forums.opensuse.org and if you’re sure it’s a bug, file it appropriately:
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ

With your detailed feedback and bug reporting, hopefully we can make future releases even better for all users :)

You’re absolutely right, it’s the great thing about GNU / Linux, there are always many posibilities and you can feel freedom to choose ;-) Thanks again and i’ll test the two on OpenSUSE 11.4!! Greetings

Hopefully, the host of usability issues and small nags are getting addressed soon.
Being responsible of a company installation of openSUSE, OOo could be a real showstopper, when it comes to advanced usage patterns.

Where do you want me to leave such issues?

Pete

Windows 7, 64 bit works great inside Linux, however, the Microsoft Life Cam 5000 does not appear as a cam instead it only uses the mic portion. I don’t need the cam bad enough to run Windows from the Windows Partition.

Yes, openSUSE is a major Linux distribution since several years ago (this is not recent news or one time scored) and contributing with LibreOffice since the early start.

There is no reason to take another Linux distribution merit. Despite of all openSUSE is a Linux too with a long history right now.

No flame at all. Other Linux distributions are moving faster to get the right visibility but not making it better starting a holy war. Linux distributions need to start thinking into convergences to make Linux stronger. Differences as personal preferences is OK but not better. Go beyond the imaginary frontier and you will find nice similarities and convergence points to make happy life.
