I have tried the 6.1mdk testing RPMs (and set FONT_SCALING="AUTO" in
~/.openoffice.conf), but they do not seem to make much difference. TTF fonts
used in the menus still look jagged (since there is no anti-aliasing in the
menus), while legacy fonts (Courier, Helvetica, Times defaults in Mandrake
9.1rc2) do not look jagged at all.

IMHO, Helvetica is the best option if anti-aliasing is not going to be available
in the menu font, although it is a bit big for the dialogs (and reducing the
font scaling has a bad impact on font rendering of anti-aliased TTFs in the
document).

Ideally, anti-aliasing in the menus would be available, so one of the
anti-aliased defaults for Sans could be used. (Does RH not have anti-aliasing
available in the menus in their OO.o package?)

(Note, my rc2 box is a laptop with 1024x768x16bit LCD panel, but KDE fonts look
great).

The auto-font-scaling does help to make the fonts more readable, but it would be
nice to have them more pleasing on the eye also.

description: 
The default font for the windows, menus and buttons is an un-aliased font which 
is almost unreadable. The whole suite looks really bad and is almost un-usable. 
Anti-aliased fonts are working fine in X, it's just OpenOffice that looks really 
bad. It's event worse that on my previous isntall of 9.0 with anti-aliasing 
turned off.
