This page is intended to collect causes and, if possible, quick fixes for OpenOffice.org 2.0 builds.

OpenOffice.org is suddenly taking a large amount of extra diskspace

This is because the included fondu application has converted your Mac fonts for use with the OOo code. This can eat over 100 MB of your disk. You can find these fonts at /Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.0/Contents/openoffice.org2.0/share/truetype .

You can delete fonts from this directory, but remember that you will not be able to use them in OOo anymore.

After running OpenOffice.org, my NeoOffice installation crashes and brings down my entire system

Your OOo 2.0 installation most likely converted a large number of fonts, one or more of which may be corrupted and causing NeoOffice to crash spectacularly.

The solution seems to be to go to /Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.0/Contents/openoffice.org2.0/share/truetype and delete any fonts larger than 1 MB.
