------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-09 18:54 ------- 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. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: 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. System: Athlon 2700+, Asus mobo A7N8X (nforce2), 1G DDR ram, Hercules Prophet 9700Pro video card.
