If I understood this right, this intentional change actually represents a 
drastic and 
dubiously motivated regression of usability, then.

*What is the purpose* of completely taking away the functionality of selecting 
the 
application UI font, style and metrics, which even the simpliest X app 
possesses??

There was no way to fully control UI font metrics even before, and the "system 
font" 
check-box was being ignored in OOO for a while. Now, it's always the 
unchangeable font 
and unchangeable metric — even without fc-match, I had quite a good impression 
of what 
gets selected here (DejaVu Sans, style:Book).

So now the font's selected via fontconfig mechanisms. Very very big deal. 
First, the font is 
not as easy on eyes, as some fonts which I'd prefer to use (and actually use in 
other apps, 
and was able to use in OOO before). So those fonts have no complete unicode in 
them — so 
what? Second, the "automagically selected" point size is about 14 pt big and 
the style is 
bold. Dialog and menus easily take half the screen.

So are there any plans or intentions to change this ?
