Its in hand ( or will be once the jca is submitted ) in anycase I indent
to start preparing at least try and put this into ooo-build and in
parallel prepare a cws. Thanks again for volunteering to to the
translations and for contacting Mr. FireFly, I hope also you will be
able to help with any questions that may need to be directed to Mr FF,
is that ok?
So I think you can take it that barring any stoppers ( I don't know if
there will be any issues with freetype for example ) & when the JCA
stuff is done then this will at least make it into ooo-build. Of it will
be better for everyone if it gets upstream.

Noel ( npower ;-) )
