Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I fresh-installed Gutsy i386 recently. I used the spreadsheet once
without noticing any problems, but the first time I opened a Powerpoint
presentation, the openoffice.org menu bars had a tiny font. Other
Oo.org apps now also had tiny fonts. The Tools>Options>View>User
Interface>Scaling function maxed out at 130% (a separate bug?).
While attempting to fix or at least circumscribe the problem, I adjusted
my Gnome System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts>Details>Resolution, which I
had manually set to 114 dpi almost immediately after the Gutsy install.
I reduced it to 96 dpi and below. This had the odd effect of reducing
the apparent size of my Desktop fonts (expected) while _increasing_ the
apparent size of the Openoffice.org toolbar and dialog fonts.
Furthermore, increasing the Gnome System Font Resolution back up to 111
dpi (based on my monitor specs and display resolution) made the
Openoffice.org fonts grow yet bigger. I could then set
Tools>Options>View>User Interface>Scaling at 100%.
That is to say, I solved my problem, but I don't understand why it
happened in the first place, and why the system did not respond
reproducibly to some simple adjustments.
This seems to be more of a bug than a "feature".
