OK this is seemingly starting to be a FAQ. this problem appears whenever you update your QT/XFT/Freetype libs. OO cannot work properly with the newer versions. This results in text sized 8pt and lower not to be rendered in OpenOffice. the menus/toolbars/dialogs in OO are all size 8, so there ya go. This is a workaround to make the fonts come back, but it may or may not work for you. Feel free to try it out. 1) Open up oowriter 2) Go, in the main menu (that would be the one containing File, Edit and so on), to the 6th menu. 3) Select the last option in that menu. 4) a small window will pop up, containing a column of "+" signs on the left. Those are the "trees" or sections for the different options in OO. 5) Expand the first tree by clicking on the "+" at the top. (this may already be open and you would see a "-" at the top. If so, proceed.) 6) You will now see the "branches" of that first tree. Select the 9th branch. 7) you will now see, on the right hand of this window, a checkbox at the top, below the checkbox you will see two dropdown listboxes, and a big listbox taking up the rest of the space. at the right of the two drop-down listboxes, you will see two buttons, one with a tick, and the other one with a cross on them. 8)The bis listbox has one line in it (of course you cannot read it). But you can see two empty squares on that line. Select this line by clicking on it. 9) the empty sqares un that line are checkboxes. Check them both. 10)also check the first checkbox at the top of this pane. 11) Go to the drop-down listbox on the right (the one closer to the buttons with the tick and the cross) and type the word Lucida on it. 12) Click the button with the green tick. 13) below the big listbox there are four big buttons. Click the first one (the one at the left). 14) Cross your fingers. HTH Damian
