Where do the font settings come from in the chroot (KDE, gnome, xfce)? Outside of the chroot I am running XFCE with KDE support enabled. Well, you ran the software at a time when few fonts were available, so perhaps it defaulted to hopeless but available fonts. Now it doesn't change automatically just because you made better fonts available. The document look changed because the app tries to load correct document fonts each time you open a document. And now the fonts are there. You will probably have to change the font settings for the app(s) in question - I don't use gnome/kde so I don't know how.

I used it to scale the text of the entire OOo window. I set it up to 95% and it's quite acceptable. It's not the perfect solution, but it's a solution ;-) Just my 2 cents.

Re: OpenOffice in chroot -- fonts?
Tried using xfs. I have more fonts now in open office, and the "Andale Mono" is now available, but that didn't help What is interesting, is that the fonts are correct in the actual contant (in oocalc, the fonts in the cells are fine). It is only the windowing fonts (menu bar, dialog text, etc.). I'm wondering if it could be a gnome or kde config issue inside the chroot.

That way, the same fonts will be available to 32-bit and 64-bit software. Alternatively, install your font collection in the chroot too.

OpenOffice in chroot -- fonts?
I managed to get openoffice to install fine in a ia32 chroot environment (from pages like [1]). It runs okay, but everything is extremely large. The fonts (menu bars, dialogs, etc.) are about 18pt font or so (buttons in the dialogs are huge). I'm not sure if this is a dpi, font or resolution problem. Would appreciate some advice. I'm starting to debate ditching amd64 for i386 as much as I'd hate to to avoid all these problems (mplayer & codecs, flash in firefox, openoffice, wine, etc.).
