    Hello,

    I asked this before on the openoffice mailing list and those people told
    me to go asking in a debian specific forum, which let me to repost to
    the debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org list, but that seems to be mainly
    a developers list ... so here it is again:

    I am running Sid and have installed OO 1.1.0-1, including several
    language support packages for my polyglot wife. Now I am at a
    loss of how to make ooffice work such that she can choose between
    Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, French, German or English at startup.

    For arabic I did:
    - dpkg-reconfigure locales
      --> generating ar_LB.ISO-8859-6 and ar_LB.UTF-8
    - apt-get install xfonts-intl-arabic
    - LANG=ar_LB openoffice (same problem with LANG=ar_LB.ISO-8859-6 or
    LANG=ar_LB.UTF-8)

    But this leads to: I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "ar_LB"

    What am I missing?

    She is threatening to revert to evil empire software! Help!

    Joh
