Hi all

another problems for OO. The UI Font is so ugly that I want to change it.
I've tried every solutions I can find in google, but nothing works!

- Check/Uncheck using system font
- Apply replacement table for the font "Andale Sans UI", or "Andale Mono".
- Tried to replace the other fonts.
- Remove old .openoffice.org2 and create a new one.

However, nothing changes for the UI Font.

Do you guys have any suggestions to fix this? ( lenny/sid, openoffice 1:
2.0.4-3, kernel 2.6.24)

Thanks a lot.
M.

Just to make sure, are all other applications' menu fonts okay? And what
desktop env. are you using (Gnome, KDE, etc.)?

The menu fonts in other applications are pretty good (Bitstream Vera sans).
I'm using xfce4.

You could try to set Scaling to 80% in menu
Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/View

On my system (etch/kde) OpenOffice.org looks like any other app.

The problem is the font can not be changed at all. I've been trying every
solutions I can find on internet, but always failed.

If there's no solution for this, I'm going to use koffice or others instead.
I can't stand the ugly UI fonts in openoffice.
