Thanks! I was able to find OOo_1.1.3_FreeBSD53Intel_install.tbz and get that installed and working.
nice
I still had the bad user interface fonts, but I found that to be a problem with my xorg config, and I (mostly) fixed it. I sitll have some minor 'ticks' snuggled inside my r's, n's, e's and g characters, but not nearly as bad as before. I just started using Xorg over Xfree86 this week, and apparantly, font handling, or at least the ports are a little different.
i'm using 5.3 on the desktop (daily), and i have no problems with it at all, but then again i've installed this from a 5.3 RELEASE cdrom,
and that has xorg as default
perhaps you have to reinstall (portupgrade -rf) a few fonts ?
Just a couple more questions: If I keep my ports tree cvsup'd every day, I'm going to have: openoffice-1.1.3 < needs updating (port has 1.1.3_1)
We generally do a "portupgrade -a" to upgrade ports unless /usr/ports/UPDATING affects us. How can I get around the openoffice discrepency since a portupgrade -a will always try build it again and end up failing?
a dirty solution is to press ctrl-c when OOo tries to build, i know from experience that portupgrade simply continues with the rest without any complaints :)
but i assume in the Makefile (in the OOo-portsdir) one can put an IGNORE somewhere
