Fedora :: Fonts Display In Open Office Writer - Creating Keyboard Layouts
Jan 16, 2010
1. Does Fedora 12 support ICU 4.4 Development Milestone 3 (ICU 4.3.3) with Unicode 5.2 full integration.(M3) ?
Microsoft's Uniscribe (usp10.dll) actually does not, neither in Windows XP nor in Windows 7. Will say is it possible to display complex scriptures like Devanagari, Avestan, Arabic etc. in Open Office Writer 3.1.1 via Fedora 12?
2. Is there any feature in Fedora 12 to build one's own Keyboard Layouts (like Microsoft's, Keyboard Layout Creator which isn't able to create Keyboard Layouts using Unicode Ranges bigger than U+ffff)?

Is it possible to delete Libre Office Writer and install open office again as Libre seems to be full of bugs and unusable? I have 11.3.

The Gnome keyboard layout applet, accessible by:
System | Preferences | Keyboard | Layouts | Add...
does not display preview of chosen layout after selecting it. What could be broken?

In Open Office Writer 3.2, is there any way that I can change the default "save as" "to" location from Documents folder to some other location (e.g., Desktop) in Lucid? I have looked thru everything I can find under tools>options, but I don't see anything that appears relevant.
Any command line deal I could do from terminal that might accomplish this?

I was working on a text file in open office writer last night, and this morning i tried to open it and a little thing popped up saying "ASCII Filter Options," prompting me for which character set, language and default fonts I wanted to use. (only after it asked if i wanted to recover the document, which i just did since it was asking me...) Now the document, which was very important, is a scrambled bunch of random characters! I cannot find the correct character set. Why is it prompting me for which character encoding I am using in the first place?

I am using OO 3.1 on Karmic 9.10. When working with Open Office Writer and either graphics or charts, a couple of things happen. First of all, the page position moves around. For example, if I click on a graphic I have inserted or on a chart, the page on my screen may shift up or down by a half inch or so. If I click back out in a text area, the page moves back to where it was. This is very annoying. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I have tried turning off compiz completely but it doesn't fix it

In the default version of Open Office (3.1) packaged with Karmic I notice that a lot of common fonts eg, Times New Roman etc, are missing. How do I add all these common fonts?

I installed Open Office 4 on Debian 8 but when I run the program I get this error message.
root@localhost:/home/paul# openoffice4
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
/opt/openoffice4/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display:
Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
or check permissions of your X-Server
(See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)
Open Office works fine when I run the command "startx" in the Konsole but so far I haven't been able to configure it.

I have a keyboard with a hardcoded dvorak layout. It makes things easy (I don't have to set a keyboard layout), but I'm considering switching to programmer dvorak because of the amount of programming which I do. My question is this: If I set the keyboard layout in the OS to programmer dvorak, will it cause problems with my native dvorak keyboard? In other words, do the keyboard layouts in the OS assume that the original keyboard layout is qwerty and then shift keys around accordingly?

In Fedora 11 I cannot switch keyboard layouts between English-Russian-Ukrainian when using window managers other than Gnome/Metacity/Openbox. However, I can see my custom "us,ru,ua" layout in GDM. My "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi" file is as follows:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to keyboard otherwise). -->
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux">
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,ru,ua</merge>
<!-- <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">,,winkeys</merge> -->
<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The file "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" is
Code:
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="ru-cs"
LAYOUT="us,ru,ua"
MODEL="pc105+inet"
OPTIONS="grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
VARIANT=""
Does this problem persist in Fedora 12?

I'm using 10.10 dual booted with xp and I'm trying to get images that are part of a docx file to open with OO 3.2 in ubuntu
They view fine on xp using OO 3.2 but windows being windows, it won't talk to my printer so I can't print. When I load up ubuntu and OO, the images just aren't there. The rest of the document looks the same however. Am I missing a file in ubuntu or is there a workaround for this?

I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Open Office 3.2.1. I guess that this problem may affect Libre Office too, but I will be happy to be proved wrong about that. I am editing a document that was originally produced in Microsoft Word (the standard .doc format). It is a form produced by a national organisation and it has to be sent back to them, and when submitted it has to be no longer than two A4 pages. It contains a series of headings and (expanding) text boxes for content.
In order to be sure about the length, I did most of the editing with Microsoft Word on my wife's laptop. On that machine, and on a PC that has a different version of Word, the document fits exactly within the two-page limit. But on my laptop, using Open Office, it appears considerably longer, taking up two-and-a-half pages. Why is this, and can anything be done to correct it? Open Office appears to be using the same fonts as Microsoft Word - the font names are the same, anyway - and the font sizes are the same, yet the text appears to take up more of the page display.

I work in a lot of different languages that use different fonts (Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Ethiopic, etc.). I have added four keyboard layouts under Keyboard Preferences > Layouts. But now the "Add" button is grayed out. Is there a limit on the number of layouts you can have active? If so, is there any way to get around this? It's a real pain if I have to add and remove layouts all the time, especially because I'm sometimes testing new custom layouts as well.

I am now doing just about all my work in Weakdows due to this retarded issue. I'm flabbergasted that not only is a function so crucial so limited, but in addition nobody seems to give a rat's ass about it. If you're not familiar with the issue, just go ahead and try configuring more than four keyboard layouts. If you can, tell me what distribution you're using and we'll be good, but I believe there's something that changed about the central X service which provides for layout changing which prevents it.
I'm a linguist and it's important for me to be able to type in English - on Dvorak and Qwerty - German, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Japanese and whatever else I need to at any given time. I'm not the only person who does this, and a significant number of us like to be able to control our computers, which is why we use Linux. So it's clear to me that whoever made the decision to put this restriction on keyboard functionality just wasn't thinking at all.
</rant>
Does anyone know of a *nix that can handle configuring more than four keyboard layouts? Is there even a hack that will allow me to get around this issue? I had thought about creating a script to swap the config file so I'd at least be able to access multiple configurations of 4 keyboards easily, but between not knowing where that config file is and being pretty bad at bash I never pursued it.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on my Macbook Pro 3,1. I would like it if there was an option in Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Options that if selected would swap the Ctrl and Command keys around so that those keys would behave like they do in Mac OS. On the macbook pro the keys go fn, ctrl, alt, command, space etc. and it's really much easier to use command (with your thumb) + z/x/c/v/b/w/q/r/a etc. than it is to use ctrl (with your little finger). If your keys are in the same order as mine, try it. I'm sure you'll find it downright awkward using your little finger for ctrl. You might think that I'm just not used to it but that's not it.
I was used to using ctrl for years and when I started using my macbook pro I was astounded by how much easier it is to use command. In Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 on my mac I was able to remap the keys with xmodmap but while with 10.04 the keys are remapped according to xev it has no effect on their behaviour. I can't imagine adding one more option to the list would be that hard. I have learned how to code in the past but it has been years and years and wouldn't have the first clue where to start in Linux. How I can find and contact the developers of this part of GNOME so that I can make the request?

I work in a company where the Ubuntu server is managed by different people around the world.
Day-to-day admin : me in France with an Azerty keyboard
Level 1 24/7 support : team in US with a Qwerty keyboard
Of course there's commands like sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup but this one affects the whole system. I've searched quite a lot on how to change the keyboard layout for one person only, but it always relates to the Gnome interface. So I'd like to know if you knew a way to locally change the keyboard layout, only the SSH connection of the user? Maybe in the startup scripts of the bash session, or even better, when the user types his user login (so it detects his language and automatically switches to the right keyboard).

On a system I did not initially setup, I'm trying to figure out how to switch to Dvorak. I know how to do it normally through gnome, but it looks like there weren't any alternate keyboard layouts installed. Does anyone know what package/packages i need?

I use a keyboard layout that I made a while back because I need very special diacritics for my academics. I copied my files 10.10 into 11.04, but I still don't have the option to use the layout.

I'm using Xubuntu 11.04. I used to use two keyboard layouts, English and German. I switched between the two using the "Keyboard Layouts" XFCE panel item. And all was good. But I recently tried to add Russian to the options, and then things went awry. When I click on the keyboard layout, a dropdown box opens with the three options, but whenever I click on Russian, the icon doesn't change and neither does the keyboard layout. German works fine. When I deleted German from the options, I was able to switch to the Russian flag, but the layout switched to German. No matter how much I fiddle with it, I can never get a Russian layout. Perhaps I'm missing something required for Cyrillic characters?

I have three keyboard layouts: en, ru and ua. Now I switch between layouts by pressing Ctrl+Shift (en->ru->ua->en->ru...). Here is part of my xorg.conf
Code:
Option "XkbRules""xorg"
Option "XkbModel""pc101"
Option "XkbLayout""us,ru,ua(winkeys)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,lv3:none,ctrl:caps,grp_led:scroll,caps:internal,compose:ralt"
I want to setup non cyclic switching with next sheme:
CapsLock - switch to en
CapsLock+Shift - switch to ru
CapsLock+Ctrl - switch to ua
I've read an xkb manuals and some articles about it but can't understand how I can setup xkb for non cyclic switching.

I had composed about 4 meticulous paragraphs and when I went to submit it all, the forum had logged me out and all the entire post got blown away. Don't have the time to do it again. Hope the abbreviated version makes sense.
Trying to write scripts to change keyboards on the fly (my wife is a luddite and either I automate it or she won't use the machine.)
Wrote a file named "ChangeKeyboardToUS" which reads
#!/bin/bash
# Change keyboard layout to standard US
chmod 755 setxkbmap us intl
All that syntax is as per [URL] ....
I put that file into my local bin (home/bj/bin) and in terminal add that to my path with the command:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/bj/bin.
When I run the script in a terminal (by typing "ChangeKeyboardToUS" I get "Permission Denied". Even running it as su, still get the same response.

I cannot get to type in romanian letters (just a standard US keyboard layout that has those letters mapped to the puctuation keys next to Enter) when switching from US to RO. Here's what I have in /etc/default/keyboard:
Code: Select allXKBMODEL="pc104"
XKBLAYOUT="us,ro"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3:ralt_alt,grp_led:scroll"
BACKSPACE="guess"
I can switch between the layouts, as fbxkb indicates, but instead of being able to type in the said letters, I get the punctuation marks you would normally get on a US keyboard.Yes, I have restarted after configuring the file mentioned above, and yes, I was able to use this layout properly on my last CrunchBang install (which I had to wipe and reinstall unfortunately).I'm on CrunchBang Linux, with Debian unstable repos.

I had debian 7 with GNOM,XFCE and LXDE woking fine. After I upgraded it to debian 8 (the DE mentioned also upgraded to e newer versions) I started having problems with switching between US and RU keyboard layouts. It now behaves as if I have two US layouts and one RU, so when I press CTRL+SHIFT several times the layout changes as follows: US-RU-US-US-RU-US-US-RU etc.
This happens in all the three DEs installed. If I exit a DE using CTRL+ALT+F1 to the command line the layout switches normally. So I guess something wrons is with DEs.
My /etc/default/keyboard file reads as follows:
Code: Select allXKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
XKBMODEL="pc105"
BACKSPACE="guess"

Is there a GUI tool to change keyboard layouts in XFCE? So far, I haven't been able to find one. I'm using setxkbmap in console to change the layout. If there is no graphical tool, is there any way to make the setxkbmap change permanent so that XFCE uses the desired keyboard layout on startup?

I have a Brazilian Keyboard that I need to use in my machine for some testing, but none of Brazilian Layouts that came with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx release are 100% compatible (I'm missing question marks and "/").
How do I download additional keyboard layouts? Is it possible? It's a HP KU-0316 model (Brazilian Version).
By the way, it's an english installation with a Brazilian keyboard. Does it have some effect in the problem I'm describing or shouldn't matter?
If it's not possible to download this keyboard layout, can I at least try to use an utility to "map" my failing keys?
