Package: openoffice.org Version: 1.1.1-1 Followup-For: Bug #233938 It is confusing that openoffice will pick a font completely separate from the KDE font if it cannot find the KDE font (at least, I think this is what happened). The KDE fonts were set to be Helvetica, and caused OpenOffice to use Albany (though the fonts rendered correctly in KDE). Installing and using Arial as the KDE font instead caused OpenOffice to also use Arial.
The choice OpenOffice makes when selecting a replacement font for a font that it cannot find is suboptimal, however, and it would be nice to see some kind of warning that that has happened. Also, why can OpenOffice not see a font that the system can otherwise see? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tutte 2.4.24.tutte #1 SMP Fri Jan 30 13:34:59 CST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages openoffice.org depends on: ii debianutils 2.8 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dictionaries-common 0.22.5 Common utilities for spelling dict ii openoffice.org-bin 1.1.1-1 OpenOffice.org office suite binary ii openoffice.org-debian 1.1.0+1.1.1rc3-1+1 Debian specific parts of OpenOffic ii openoffice.org-l10n-e 1.1.1-1 English (US) language package for -- no debconf information
