Look for OOo residual information in your .kde directory. The reason for the font problem is simple, you did not reinstall the OpenOffice.org-kde package, and there are some files that may get placed in the .kde directory where it tracks window placement. Completely doing away with OOo from the Ubuntu repositories and using alien is not a good idea. If you use Ubuntu instead of KDE on Kubuntu install the gnome and gtk .deb packages and you should be fine. Once these integration packages are installed they "integrate" with the desktop system so that some of your settings for window placement and style is store with Gnome or KDE. Either way the font situation should be fine once those packages are re-installed. You may also want to go to the Ubuntu or Kubuntu user lists and see what folks there are saying. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
