The OpenOffice.org Community announced <A HREF="http://www.prweb.com//releases/openofficeorg/40/prweb759464.htm">the release of OpenOffice.org 2.4,</A> the latest version of the leading open source office productivity suite. OpenOffice.org 2.4 includes new features, enhancements, and bug fixes to all its core components.

Users will appreciate changes such as usability improvements in printing, and further enhancements to PDF handling (OpenOffice.org creates PDF files "out of the box" to ISO standard). The default font is now DejaVu, which supports more languages/localisations than the previous BitStream Vera--part of a raft of localisation improvements covering languages from Hiligaynon to Quechua. Mac OS X users will appreciate the use of the native Quicktime player and spell-checker.
