Yes, I did contact SoftMaker, but they were not able to help. Here is the thread: <http://www.softmaker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=222&t=12539&p=43358#p43358> I pm'ed the support person working on this with the new information and a reference to this thread, but have not heard back. I checked the libhunspell versions involved. libhunspell-1.2 is used in Pups that have the problem and ones that don't. Precise 5.4.2 has libhunspell-1.3 and the umlaut problem. The de.aff files in the Opera hunspell (which works flawlessly) and the freeoffice hunspell both list the same code page: SET ISO8859-1 So, I am still stumped. edit 1: Corrected url of forum thread. Sorry, couldn't get the tags to work. |

What about playing with export OUTPUT_CHARSET=iso-889-1 ( or UTF-8 )? This had been helpful sometimes with similiar issues in puppy. This works: http://www.softmaker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=222&t=12539&p=43358#p43358

Just a thought. You can eliminate the symlinks back to /root by creating a new blank file called portable.txt in /mnt/home/freeoffice. This is Softmaker's way to create a portable version of Freeoffice. As soon as it detects this file it will look in that directory for /.softmaker and /Softmaker. If it doesn't find them there it creates them. It might make a difference? |

I downloaded the free version and de-archived in /root and ran the install script (answering yes to all questions) Next I installed my Rightclick package and it worked properly 
The .tmd native format seems to have changed from earlier versions??? _______________________________________ |

Thanks for the suggestions! Adding the dummy file portable.txt to the freeoffice directory eliminates the need for the symbolic links. This is a significant improvement as it simplifies the installation of the stand-alone freeoffice, but it does not solve the problem with the German spell checker. I also tried changing the OUTPUT_CHARSET variable. With Wary 5.4.90, which has the problem, the standard value is UTF-8, I changed this with export (as described above) to ISO8859-1 - the value listed in the de.aff file of the hunspeller. No improvement. I then tried the opposite tack - I changed the value in de.aff to UTF-8 to match the environmental variable - still no go. Interestingly, Wary 5.3.90 (with the same kernel as Wary 5.4.90) and the same standard value for the character set works just fine! |

While I've purchased multiple SMs--mostly for phone and PDA--I decided to play with Softmaker 2010 FreeOffice and found it pretty stripped down--no saving in *.docx and no thesaurus, to name two key missing features. Ashampoo 2010 is also free, and appears to be a full version SoftMaker 2010 (and about 40 mbs larger than FreeOffice). The rub is, it appears to be Windows-only, so you need Wine--though it can be in a stand-alone directory (via a portable install to usb). I did not find Ashampoo 2010 in Linux format, but if folks are willing to put up with wine, this may alleviate some of the issues noted in this thread, plus return the missing features. Jake |

I couldn't find Wary 5.3.90 so I used Wary 5.3.92, hopefully that one works for you. I took it and extracted all the files that were modified in Wary 5.4.90. That is, here are the original files from the working version that were changed in the non-working version (except those in /dev). The files are in the directory structure, no symlinks though. I am thinking you could copy these files in to Wary 5.4.90 and see if this results in a working version. Then you could start over copying in one folder at a time, until you identify the problem folder. Then start over and copy in one file at a time until you identify the problem file. I've used this technique a few times to identify problems and although tedious  it works.
Cheers, J |

I have packaged SM Free Office 2012 and tried it on Puppy-412 and Saluki-023, although not extensively. It can be downloaded from http://412collection.co.uk/document.php#smo2012 _________________ http://412collection.co.uk |

This week, SoftMaker is heavily discounting its full-version SoftMaker 2012, Linux or Windows. I picked mine up on Monday for $19.99 USD. Since I run Wine, I got the Windows version. My real issue with SM in Linux is an un-adjustable menu font, etc since it's all pretty hard-coded. With Wine, obviously, users get more to tweak. Jake |

Not a good idea in the long run. At best, should only be packaged as a .pet. When SoftMaker introduces newer versions, they stop issuing license keys for older ones. (See top of my first post here.) |

hopefully, I mean HOPEFULLY, they support Korean letters. I remember it didn't work properly. Yes, Korea is a damn small country. They just make Hyundais and Samsung phones. But it would be nice of them if they EVER consider supporting Korean 2 letter system correctly. |

perhaps PuppyISO you could approach softmaker as a software tester or even provide translations for korean ... seriously.... they are a small company so can only work with the resources to hand... A bit like puppy really.... mike |
