You probably noticed that OpenOffice.org was still incredibly ugly. The actual text used in your document might look nice, but the user interface elements (dialog boxes, menus, the navigator and style list, etc) still look awful -- jagged and almost unreadable.
To fix it, fire up OO.o. Now click Tools -> Options -> Select OpenOffice.org in the tree view of the dialog that pops up. Under OO.o, select Font Replacement. Next, click the box next to "Apply Replacement Table". In the Font pull-down box, manually type in "Andale Sans UI" (minus the quotes, of course). You can NOT select this font in the box, it's not there and must be entered manually. Next, pick a replacement font in the "Replace With" drop-down box. I suggest Helvetica (it looks great for me) but you should experiment til you get a look you like. Just click the checkmark by the "Replace With" box. Then, down beneath, make sure you've checked "Always" and "Screen". Click OK and see what the new user interface looks like. Repeat these steps until you find a font that doesn't look awful (though almost anything is an improvement over Andale Sans, IMNSHO). Ah, that's better...
