Oh, bother. I had forgotten about that problem, which has been around since OOo2.0 was first released. I suspect it won't be fixed in OOo v2.1 (which is due out this coming week), as it's not a bug that affects the functionality. I don't have the Release Candidate for 2.1 installed on WinXP, or I would check.
Now that 2.1 is a Release Candidate it can't be installed alongside 2.0.4, so I'm stymied as well. Maybe I'll install it on one of my machines just for inspection, but it'll be running Win2K, not XP so no silver theme!
Under Debian Linux ('Etch') the dialogues render correctly. Any thoughts?If you or Carl or someone can redo all the dialogs in this chapter using Linux, that would be great. The only other choices I can see are to redo the Insert Insert/Table dialogs in Linux and leave the others alone, or just redoing the problem dialogs in Linux -- either of which means inconsistent figures in this chapter.
I might be tempted to do this long term, but I'm in no hurry to start again. The problem as I see it is that end users will see 'F' (and 'I' instead of 'L') under Windows on their own systems, which seems to negate any benefit from a little pixel editing in the screen shot. What about a caveat in the document, stating that a minor bug prevents the 'E' showing properly under Windows and that the screen shot reflects what the user will see on their own system?
