Aside from that, and concerning OpenOffice fonts, you can check here: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html The section on "Changing the user interface font", will get you a much better looking UI. I don't use Gnome, and I find configuration to be quite confusing in it as compared to KDE, which I do use, and like. With Gnome, I think maybe you have to do more configuration on an individual program basis. KDE seems to have things more integrated, at least to me. YMMV, of course. Someone more familiar with Gnome will be able to help you a lot more, but maybe this will help a little.
