HOWTO: Install OpenOffice Localized

so open konsole/xterm/whatever... then 'su' to root and type
Code:
emerge openoffice

if it works, you're done reading, if not you would get an ugly code saying
Code:
* ****************************************************************
* It is important to note that OpenOffice.org is a very fragile
* build when it comes to CFLAGS. A number of flags have already
* been filtered out. If you experience difficulty merging this
* package and use agressive CFLAGS, lower the CFLAGS and try to
* merge again.
* ****************************************************************
* Unknown LANGUAGE setting!

* Known LANGUAGE settings are:
* ENUS | PORT | RUSS | GREEK | DTCH | FREN | SPAN | FINN | CAT | ITAL |

and one more time let's look at our variable
Code:
echo $LANGUAGE

------------------------------------[NOTES]------------------------------------
you need A LOT of free space, at least more than 1 GB... i don't know how much exactly...
I've been having some font problems in OpenOffice so i read
http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html, THE thing that solved the problems was that i checked(as in clicked/set to on) the 'do NOT use anti-alias' for fonts smaller than 8 pixels(don't know how the option is called exactly in english...)
P.S. you might want to check the bug report for this ebuild if you are having problems, though i know you're too lazy to do that :p
Enjoy
