[...] In particular some informations are needed 1a) Which O.S. are you using, which version ? 1b) case Linux : which windowmanager, which version ? 2) Which version of OOo, and from which repository ? 3) didn't you forget to unselect "Use system font for user interface" ? 4) Does font changing (in replace with) has any effect on your UI ? ... others questions we'll have to examine As far as I know, storage of this percentage is done in the xml file ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu for example, if you choose 119% then close OOo launch an Xterm $ cd /home/me/.openoffice.org $ grep -R 119 * will show you this file and in it, look for <value>119</value> (max allowed is 130) But I don't know which part of code is concerned here. (only tester, not dev :-/ ) anyway I think better to go on user list regards Fred Juan DIAZ ================================================================= ----- Mail original ----- De : the mad doctor kaeding <[email protected]> À : [email protected] Cc : Envoyé le : Vendredi 2 Septembre 2011 18h51 Objet : Re: change UI font size I have tried setting a font substitution Andale Sans UI -> something else, and it would not take it. I have tried going into the options and adjusting the scaling, but it has no effect on the UI font. I have tried all possible configuration options with no success. Would someone please point to the place in the source code where the size of the UI font is set? Thank you.
