Hi. I made a post to expert list a few days ago (kept it here at the bottom of this message) , asking if rebuilding OpenOffice would fix the problem with it (not displaying most fonts if they are size 8 or smaller).
This bug is present in my machine since the day i upgraded the XFT that shipped with 9.0. (The 'menu items have no text' problem) Once i fixed the text, OO is still unable to render most fonts if they are small (i.e. zooming out makes text invisible). Apparently, not many people had an idea what i was talking about, which made me freak out (sorta).... So, i just wanted to forward this, to ask my question again and to make sure that you are aware of this. Thanks. Damian. > > Took a look at mine...
