Bug#241529: possible breakthrough?

[Chris Halls <chris@thehalls.de>]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your extra information.  It helps a little, but doesn't
provide a lot of extra information.  I'll try and explain what is going
on.

There are 3 ways in which OOo can choose its menu font, and those
correspond to the 3 settings of OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP - none, kde and
gnome.  The kde and gnome methods get the font from the desktop
environment. The none method uses the list of fonts to search in
VCL.xcu.  Normally OOo determines which of those methods to use
automatically; by setting it to none you are just telling it to ignore
that it is running Gnome and use the VCL.xcu method, just like it does
when you use enlightenment or xfce.

I cannot reproduce this on my system, so I need help from you to find
out what is so special about your system.  It might be fastest if you
could give me access temporarily to your machine - please mail me
privately if that is possible.

In the meantime, could you send me the file
~/.openoffice/1.1.1/user/psprint/pspfontcache please?  That might help
me take a guess at which font OOo is trying to use.

Thanks,
Chris
