Real font smoothing in OpenOffice
Authored by: ms_t_rie on Jul 21, '04 02:31:54PM

I got the same error on 10.3, and after some digging, I discovered that the problem does like with the .gz file. I went through the article, and found the .tar file that was used in it, so I downloaded that one instead.
Unpacking that one and using the contents of that worked fine.

change the references to the other .gz file to the above instead and the script should work (I also found I had to join the 3 lines for the last real command in the script, when I just copied and pasted what was there, the command was invalid as displayed)

Once the script was repaired to use the valid archive and fix the actual install command, it ran and Open Office looks SO much better now!
