• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bernd Feige 2008-10-02 13:12:58 UTC]

Since cairo-1.8.0 is now in the repo, the following bug struck us
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16209
(No text rendered by Openoffice, neither menus nor messages nor document text...)

Regards,
Bernd

Please post your `emerge --info' too.

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-10-02 19:34:23 UTC]

Oh, and specify in the summary whether you mean app-office/openoffice or app-office/openoffice-bin, and which version of that package you're experiencing this with.

[Comment 3 [e-mail] 2008-10-02 19:51:32 UTC]

I am suffering from the same bug, running openoffice compiled from source

emerge -pv openoffice

[Comment 4 Bernd Feige 2008-10-06 08:07:40 UTC]

I'm compiling from source as well but don't think this should make a difference,
since the cairo-1.8.0 update broke the openoffice that was compiled against
cairo-1.6.4-r1 (no API change).

emerge -pv openoffice

[Comment 5 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2008-10-14 06:12:32 UTC]

At least with 3.0 I don't get this problem, so you might give this a shot...

[Comment 6 Bernd Feige 2008-10-14 12:54:12 UTC]

Thank you, yes, Behdad Esfahbod mentioned on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16209 that Fedora should have a fix backported from 3.0.
In gentoo, 3.0 is available as binary but not as source ebuild yet.
In the meantime, everybody hit by this problem should setenv SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT=1 to get their text display back...
-- Regards, Bernd

That's not true, source ebuild is in the tree, just package.masked for final bugfixing...

[Comment 8 Bernd Feige 2008-10-14 13:25:38 UTC]

Well yes, sorry, it's only masked. Whoever is stuck with 2.x for whatever reason and sees this problem can still setenv SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT=1 ;-)

[Comment 9 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2008-10-19 17:28:32 UTC]

As OOo 3.0 is unmasked everywhere (and going stable before cairo 1.8), this is not relevant anymore, closing
