Hi,
I've uploaded 1.1.0-2.3pre1 packages of openoffice.org and
openoffice.org-bin to the unstable section of our mirrors [1], and I'd
be grateful if people who have had problems with the user interface font
size in 1.1.0-1 and 1.1.0-2 could try them out before they go to
unstable, and let us know the results.
Here is a summary of the font changes that have been made that I am
aware of since we started incorporating Xmian's patches, to help you
understand OOo's behaviour between the versions:
1.1.0-1
* Added Ximian fontconfig patches. With these, OOo queries
fontconfig for a list of available fonts, but all other font
displaying/sizing/formatting etc is still done in the usual
way. That's why OOo did not start supporting any other
fontconfig features such as ttc support, artifical italics,
antialising etc.
* Added Ximian patch to remove workarounds for displays < 96 DPI,
so that UI fonts and documents zoomed at 100% show at true size
on displays with a lower DPI.
1.1.0-2
* KDE integration: Previously, OOo only used the name of the
default KDE font. Patched to also retrieve the font size,
italic/bold setting for both the general font and the menu font.
* Increased default font size for non-KDE/Gnome users from '8' to
'12' (not sure if this really is a point size). That was a
mistake; backed out for -3.
*
