> /stefanoStefano - I had the same issues as you, but decided that, since one of texstar's main things was his truetype libs, I'd use one of the installed fonts which I *know* work with his libfreetype packages. My /etc/openoffice/openoffice.cfg looks like this (comments removed): ============begin here============= UI_FONT="Arial Unicode Ms [Xft]" FONT_SCALING="AUTO" PAPER_SIZE="A4" =============end there============= I got the name of the font from the "Appearance" section of the KMail configuration panel (you may have other applications installed which show the exact names), and note that I uncommented the FONT_SCALING parameter All works well this end - hth -- john in sydney Mandrake Linux 9.0, Kernel version: 2.4.19-16mdk OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/3E4A902F B38A AB0F 8658 D9E1 4900 3050 08FA D4FA 3E4A 902F
