Wrong font in OOo menu

[bdoedel@utanet.at]

Using Debian Etch and updating via aptitude 3 times a week.
Since I updated OO to 2.0.3-2 a month or so ago, I can not use OO without 
considerable headache. I had and have installed the English version and 
everything went fine before. But now it's a mess. 
EVERYTHING (litterally) that OO _itself_ shows me is in Greek characters, 
the menu, the help, the buttons... whatsoever. But the underlying language 
is _English_! As I still know from school the Greek alphabet I can read 
with considerable effort what is shown to me, but this is not as it should 
be I think.
Well, I tried everything to find what I possibly had done wrong, some 10 
times completely purging (all via aptitude of course) OO and reinstalling 
it, carefully looking if no dependencies were unfullfilled, nothing helped 
me out of the misery.
Why I did not ask for help earlier? 
The strange thing is, that when I use OO as _root_ everything is fine, only 
as _user_ I fall into the garbage. So, I thought, the fault lies with me. 
Especially because I also could not discover a bug-report on this matter 
still. But now I am almost desperate, where should I still look?

Thanks for your tips and hints.

With kind regards,
Peter Holm.
