After browsing (ploughing) through the sourcecode to find a place where the font size was set I noticed OO2 kde integration. Googling revealed kde.openoffice.org. So I decided to install openoffice KDE integration. Problem is I run self compiled QT/KDE and openoffice.org-kde depends on debian's qt and kde libraries, something I don't want my system contaminated with of course. So I searched for the literal package responsible for openoffice kde intergration which (at this moment) is openoffice.org-kde_2.0.0-5_i386.deb and copied the files (/usr/lib/openoffice/program/* and /usr/share/lintian/*) in their respective places and whoops... KDE integration and small UI font was a fact! :) Hope this helps everybody looking for this solution a bit further. Grtz.

Your link is broken but I found this (similar?) page: http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/Font/fonts-system.html This is just a font-preview, but going up in the hierarchy I found lots of font-related tips and tricks (thanks). None of which solved my too big default userinterface font problem however. Could you (anyone) please be a little more specific about the location of this so-called system default font or simply explain how to get my ooffice user interface font smaller?

Take a look at: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-system.html The whole idea of system fonts isn't very evolved yet. They've been around a while, but the number of apps actually using them remains pitifully small. -- "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."Psalm 33:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Openoffice 2.0 user interface font
Hi, Today I found OpenOffice 2.0 trickled down into testing, yay! The first annoyance however smacked me in the face when I saw the default userinterface font. I allready found out how to change this using font replacement for 'Andale Sans UI', but I don't understand the following things: 1. What does the 'use system font for user interface' setting refer to? 2. Where is this defined without the above checked? Esp: size! 3. To what is the scaling factor mentioned in the View dialog relative? I want an interface font that is smaller than what I get when I scale down to the minimum of 80%. Besides that I would feel more comfortable leaving this 100% and changing the responsible system setting. X has a dpi of 100 (xdpyinfo).
