Yes, I'm just begining to work out what's going on here, but it is extreemly difficult to get a solution that works everywhere. > however, and it would be nice > to see some kind of warning that that has happened. If you would like that please file an issue upstream; we don't have the manpower to start doing tweaks like that ourselves. > Also, why can OpenOffice not see a font that the system can otherwise see? This is actually deliberate - to make sure that documents always use high quality scaleable fonts. I guess your KDE font is a bitmap font. OK, you can argue that isn't necessary for the menus, but the menu font selection code uses the same font routines as the document so it isn't a quick job to enable bitmaped fonts for the menus only.
