In the font menu in the replacement fonts there is one called 'Interface User'
It is an alias for 'Andale Sans UI' and both should do the same thing. It was
added in a recent openoffice (last release before 1.0 i believe) so that it
was no longer a 'hidden' option.

Ahh, i thought it would use the system freetype library. Is the one in OO
compiled with the same options (i.e ignoring apples patent nonsense) as the
system library? It seems to render fonts slightly worse than the system
freetype, they look more blurred to me.
