Hello!
I contact you because I experience problems with the latest openoffice
distribution (unstable).
I waited for a few days in case you'll look at the problem, just in case
:)
The problem is with the default menu font. It does not anymore accept
truetype font in order to draw the menus!
I have correctly installed the font under X with the correct FontPath
("/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType")
and checked that xfontsel *sees* these fonts (as well as other
programs).
Only OpenOffice can't see them.
Blindly I tried to change the default font to something else and I
succeeded :)
When the font is something different than a TTF, it displays it
correctly. When I tried to change it to a TTF font again, the menus
disappear again :(
Afterwards I tried to find the place where OO stores the font
subtitution matrix.
Since this is a serious problem (there are a few people who know the OO
menus by heart), I suggest to add in the documentation that someone can
substitute the default font in the
~/.openoffice/1.0.1/user/config/registry/instance/org/openoffice/Office
/Common.xml file,
by writing something like
<Font>
<Substitution>
<FontPairs cfg:element-type="FontReplacement">
<FontReplacement state="replaced" cfg:name="_0">
<Always cfg:type="boolean">true</Always>
<OnScreenOnly cfg:type="boolean">true</OnScreenOnly>
<ReplaceFont cfg:type="string">Andale Sans UI</ReplaceFont>
<SubstituteFont cfg:type="string">Avantgarde</SubstituteFont>
</FontReplacement>
</FontPairs>
<Replacement cfg:type="boolean">true</Replacement>
</Substitution>
</Font>
and THEN go through the menus and change the font to whatever they like.
That's all!
