I run both Fedora and Centos. The version of OpenOffice on Fedora 7 is 2.3, but the version on Centos is 2.0.
I've been having a problem with documents that I open in both systems. It appears to be attributable to differences in fonts. If I prepare a document on a Fedora system (under OpenOffice 2.3) and then open it on a Centos system (under OpenOffice 2.0) the line spacing appears to change, even though the fonts are supposedly the same. Text that exactly fills a page or a slide on a Fedora system, will overflow the page or slide when opened on a Centos system. This isn't an issue I think makes sense to raise with the OpenOffice people, because RHEL/Centos isn't at their latest version.
Although EPEL doesn't maintain the packaging of OpenOffice, is there a possibility of EPEL producing some kind of font compatibility RPM for use by people who share my dilemma?
