Hello all:
I use SUSE 10.1 with its default OpenOffice version (2.0.2 build 2.0.2.15). In some menus the fonts looks very strange, pale (or even impossible to read) and ugly. For example in the print dialog the 'properties' button's fonts, in the format paragraph and format page dialogs some lines etc. The fonts in the text editor window and on the printouts look OK. I don't know if it's important or not but I have ATI Radeon 7000 vga card and use the native linux radeon driver.
What would be the solution to make these fonts look normal? Thanks, IG
Good luck, I have the same issues with fonts on OO in SuSE10.1 (10.0 works fine). I have posted everywhere but it seems we're the only ones having this problem?
When I switch off anti-aliasing in OO the fonts are rendered horribly, even when changeing the UI font to Tahoma.
I have screenshots, if anyone is interested. ===========
Have either of you guys bothered to change the fonts used in Gnome programs? Usually setting the Gnome/GTK+ fonts will do wonders for all the GTK+ programs, such as OOo. You can also set the anti-aliasing for LCD monitors there in the gnome-control-center. You don't really need to log into Gnome as the control center can be run while in KDE.
This might help get your fonts looking better.

Second thing I did after installing KDE :) KDE has got a nice Control Panel setting for syncing Gnome/GTK settings with KDEs. My Evolution, Gimp, etc looks great. As I said I have this running successfully on my 10.0 machine!. Font and DPI are the first things that I "fix" on a new SUSE installation (the defaults are criminal).
