More ooo/chroot problems

I have pure64 running very smoothly on an Asus K8V-X motherboard with a 3400 processor. It has been acting as a cups print server for a usb printer for the rest of my network.

A couple of days ago I felt the need to try to get openoffice going with the chroot process described in the amd64 howto. All seems to be going quite well; when I type oowriter in a shell, an oowriter window comes up, complete with icons on the toolbars and a default frame. Unfortunately it doesn't display any fonts in the frame or windows.

Should I have an XF86Config-4 in the chroot, to set font paths? My limited understanding suggested that would be the job of X running outside the chroot. I have downloaded and installed only the packages suggested in the Howto.

Suggestions?

> Suggestions?

as of some months ago OpenOffice.org package is available in the pure64 system, without the need of the chroot. I've installed it and works fine.

Look for the howto somewhere on alioth or on this list.

More ooo/chroot problems - solved

My ia-32 chroot version of openoffice ran but had no fonts in the window

Lucien Saviot suggested I installed ttf-bitstream-vera in the chroot

That plus its dependencies solved the problem; ooo now seems to perform perfectly.
