Bug#233938: openoffice.org: Changing KDE fonts helps -- but they were not Albany
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #233938
It is confusing that openoffice will pick a font completely separate
from the KDE font if it cannot find the KDE font (at least, I think
this is what happened). The KDE fonts were set to be Helvetica, and
caused OpenOffice to use Albany (though the fonts rendered correctly
in KDE). Installing and using Arial as the KDE font instead caused
OpenOffice to also use Arial.
The choice OpenOffice makes when selecting a replacement font for a
font that it cannot find is suboptimal, however, and it would be nice
to see some kind of warning that that has happened. Also, why can
OpenOffice not see a font that the system can otherwise see?
