- A few people point out that OpenOffice.org requires libfreetype to be
   installed for it to support Arabic and ask if Mandrake could automate its
   installation along with the checking/enabling of the checkbox in openoffice
   options that enables Complex Text Layouts (all to be done automatically).

I am not sure who asked for automating freetype installation since it's 
already installed but everything is solved now regarding this issue. Three 
bugs were filed (on MDK, RH, and OO.o bugzilla's) and now removed from the 
OpenBugs wiki page. It turned out to be not exactly related to libfreetype 
but to libvcl.

May I request that every one vote for the remaining OO.o bugs. It seems no one 
cares about voting since I haven't put a vote link (my fault may be). There 
are serious bugs that really hinders adopting it as an alternative to M$ 
solutions. Things like the harakat bug and hanging on the best ever-made 
font, IMHO, (Lotus LinoType) is really worth considering. Due to time 
constraints as usual I can't post any change on the OpenBugs wiki page here 
but I am committed to updating in semi-daily basis so please check from time 
to time. A final note worth mentioning some bugzilla/issuezilla's like OO.o 
won't update you with the changes unless you add yourself in the cc list so 
please after voting add yourself if you care to know the status.
