Hello,
maybe you remember this thread as of a few weeks ago. My problem is that

However, during my recent experiments with gnome-desktop-environment

the OOo fonts are much *smaller*!

Hi,
I am running unstable and apt-getted openoffice.org a couple of days
ago. The fonts in openoffice are awful - both the actual application and
fonts used when writing documents. My gnome desktop has really nice
anti-aliased fonts. How can I give openoffice nice fonts.
Thanks for your help
