Bug#218585: Openoffice UI fonts now way too big
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.0-2
Severity: minor
You're going to hate me for this... :-)
After installing the new version of Openoffice which, according the
changelog, defaults to a 12pt font size, the interface text is now way
too big. (A rough comparison with other text in OOo suggests it is now
~18pt. The fonts with 1.1.0-1 were perhaps a little on the small side
but by no means unreadable.) Under KDE the interface font looks fine,
presumably at the 12pt size that you claim in the changelog.

http://cp.yi.org/cameron/ooo_fonts3.png (with 1.1.0-2 under KDE)
Some bits of information which perusing bug #207957 suggests may be
useful:
- I'm not using KDE or Gnome
- X server is started with KDM, given -dpi 96 on the command line
- Xft.dpi is not set according to xrdb -query; setting it to 96 doesn't
appear to alter anything
- Fiddling with "Use system font" doesn't affect anything
- Running under KDE it looks much nicer, obeying the KDE defaults for
font size and colours; even when "Use system font" is turned off it
defaults to a much smaller font than it does without KDE running.
- The preferences dialog doesn't even fit on the screen at 1152x864
resolution...
Cheers,
Cameron.
