Hi

As some fonts have no italic and bold style.For example Bitstream Vera Serif is without italic style.
Even more bad, Chines fonts are only have regular style.So it can't display italic and bold style fonts in openoffice.

Fortunately this problem can resolve by this patch
http://firefly.idv.tw/setfont-xft/patches/openoffice/1.9.130/openoffice-1.9.m130-vcl-virtualstyles-20050919.patch

The patch is make by firefly (firefly@firefly.idv.tw) and released under GPL.With the patch openoffice can displays fake italics and bold style fonts that have no true italics and bold style.No matter what language characters,if it have no true italics and bold style fonts,the patch can make them display fake italics and bold style fonts.It is important things feature to openoffice.

The patch also commited to upstream,But the openoffice developer team seem are unconcern about this.The patch seem will not apply to the comming openoffice 2.0 . We hope arch can adopt this patch.

The problem is that we don't build our OpenOffice from source, but repackage official released RPMs. This might change in the future when I get more time to do some work on Ximian OO (oo-build).

===> A pkgbuild to build from sources is done!

Good news! fake italics and bold patch has added by go-ooo.It work well on Ubuntu's ooo-m143 build.
Andy your PKGBUILD is m146 version,so I thinks fake italics and bold is work well in this build.

Tobias Powalowski,JGC any plan for merging oo-build to Arch ?
