On the replacement issue, the README file in the openoffice.org2.0 directory (the directory in which the programme is installed) states "To change the font of the OpenOffice.org user interface, you have to replace the default font "Andale Sans UI" with another font and mark the "always" setting for this replacement." The default font is not actually listed, you have to type it in.
I've got a related problem in that, for ease of visibility, I have increased font sizes using the KDE tool and the increased fonts show up in the OpenOffice UI generally but not in the dialogs so that, if I use scaling to increase the dialog fonts, I get too much size in the UI generally. It may be that your OS enables you to alter font settings system-wide, in which case those settings will be mirrored in OpenOffice, except in the dialogs. Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
