Try wrapping daytime in a script (or possibly a DTProgram object, or use RUN!) that sets TZ=UTC0 for that session only.

If printing from AOO4 results in an entry in the cups error log (debug level) similar to "... not defined in /mdef" then you need to swap to using PSPRINT instead of ECUPS

come to think of it you need PSPRINT if you want to print in colour from AOO4.
I found that cups 2.0 needed a few *nix utilities added to the mix or printing failed

I'm going to try to cobble together a brief "How To with cups 2.0" over the next few days - as time permits.
So I decided to try running Gimp which has been installed here since it was ported.
First problem is HobX, while it runs fine on my OS/2 Ver 4 install, it comes up under eCS 2.1 complaining that it is an illegal install and then closes. Note that this is the version that Hob software gave away just before ending the OS/2 version of HobX and so is legal.
X11R6.CMD didn't have the LIBPATHSTRICT=T line in it . Adding SET LIBPATHSTRICT=T as the first line in X11R6.CMD allowed it to find the D:\USR\X11R6\bin & lib directories - but trying to execute GIMP-2.2.exe still gives the same "a non-recoverable error" message.
Hi All
I was wrong - the problem with no colour output when printing from Writer is an ecups.drv/psprint.drv problem.
Alex Taylor has released an updated psprint.drv which seems to fix this problem - only had very limited testing here but it has worked fine so far. I guess Alex would appreciate as many people as possible testing it http://www.altsan.org/os2/printing/psprint-test-141203.zip

QuoteMake PMMail able to directly display Unicode text (a weakness which is rapidly rendering it unusable for modern work).
I don't understand this statement. PMMail has done Unicode for ages. If there is a problem with it, please open an incident in the Mantis bug tracker.
A new text rendering & layout engine for PM, probably based on FreeType + Harbuzz, to replace the out-of-date and no-longer-maintained Innotek Font Engine. Probably only available as a development library, not a runtime replacement like Ft2LIB (which was a cool idea but just not stable enough). Hopefully this could allow us to finally retire FT2LIB for apps like OpenOffice, for which it is still an anchor around the neck. (If really ambitious it could be the basis for a new Unicode-capable widget library for PM-based apps like PMMail or ProNews.) This is one of the big three things that I've long wanted to try tackling myself, but I just don't have the time right now.
Don't we already have that in Cairo? It works pretty well for Mozilla, pretty sure it can use harbuzz (have to try enabling it in Mozilla) and has even been adapted to the WPS, where unluckily it was somewhat fragile.
For something like OO it would probably be too much of a change but other apps could be converted to use it.
