------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 2 19:27:01 +0000 2008 ------- I guess this is one issue — the choices about interface font DO NOT WORK. This happens systematically, for years, at least in my environment. Options either work erratically or produce no visible result. The "Use system font" option stopped working quite a time ago, somewhere in 2006-2007. I may check it and play with .gtkrc-2.0 or with KDE, the OOO is NOT showing my system font (by the way, is it GTK font? KDE font? something else?), but rather its own Vera, in largish size and bold style. Much of a dialogs just get unusable until I set Size percentage in options. If I remove Vera's physically, the OOO does the same trick with DejaVu Sans. I'm attaching the screenshot in 100%-size next thing. Also, while the trick with substitution of "Andale sans UI" SORT OF WORKS in Pavel Janik's builds (somehow, not all fonts seem to be accepted), it produces NO RESULT in Sun community builds (like the recent release of 2.4.0). I may substitute whatever I wish, the result is still same large and bold large DejaVu Sans. I didn't even change anything in my configuration, just upgraded from the PJ build of 2.3.1 to Sun's build 2.4.0. In all circumstances, the very easy for the eye BDF font with WGL4 coverage I'm using for the interface in KDE and GTK apps is not even considered an option in all of the OOO font dialogs, even for the UI. So is there a way to switch off that fancy font processing logic or to put a manual switch- off somewhere at least? Also, to have a more decent font size as UI default. Until then, I rather feel like the UI font processing in OOO is an annoying bug, not a feature.
