I had this same problem with LM 8.2 with the tarball off
openoffice.org... the solution was to uninstall abiword... Abiword
installs certain fonts that seem to conflict with OpenOffice. I suggest
trying that <if you have abiword installed>.

Greetings

Anne,

    none of the two works for me, unfortunately.
I **STILL** have no menu labels in OO.

Hi all,
I have a small problem with openoffice "mandrake 9.0 RPM"
When i run openoffice i don't see any menu labels, the menubar is

dropdown list is>empty, there is only a Times font, and a bunch of

This has come up before.  Although I have no experience of the
problem, I have seen two lots of answers to this.

1)  If you have installed Freetype2 from any version other than the
install cds you will need to revert.

2)  Quote:
Go to /etc/openoffice. Edit with vim or whichother editor you like 
openoffice.conf and in the place UI_FONT="AUTO" replace it with
"Arial" or whichother font you think is usable. That might help.
