Last week, OpenOffice 3.2 was released. While this may seem like a ho-hum announcement, I’m proud to announce that this release incorporates Graphite font rendering technology that was developed by some computer geeks at SIL International, a partner organization with Wycliffe. From the official announcement: “Using this technology, the support for new minority scripts becomes manageable. Just one font needs to developed for the specific needs of that minority.” Way to go team!

This release also boasts faster startup times. I’ve given it a try and it is indeed faster.

FYI: OpenOffice is an open source, free suite of office software.
