...the java version has fonts too small to read...


Everything Java, except LO, always has too small fonts for me to read. LO 
fonts are no longer too small only after a lot of effort to figure out its 
unorthodox sizing configurability. Its icons are useless, though that's the 
state of most icons here.

remove libreoffice-gnome, libreoffice-gtk2 and libreoffice-gtk3
LibreOffice will fallback on the default java style



Thanks. I did that and the java version has fonts too small to read 
...at least for me. I re-installed the gtk2 version and it works. 
Thanks!!! Ric

I'm sorry that this doesn't move you closer to an immediate solution,
but do you really need to be using Sid? The words "sid", "critical" and
"desperate", close together in the same sentence or close to it, is a
little bit of a red flag...


Huh? If something breaks I'll sure mention it. This breakage is out of 
the norm, for sid breakage, It appears that gtk is broken real good! The 
only red flag you need to worry about is the one not waved.


If you have truly critical processes / work stuff that you have to get
done, sid wouldn't seem like the place to do it. Jessie is still pretty
functional you know... I run stretch on boxes I don't mind breaking
occasionally and Jessie on those I do. I have neither a compelling
reason to use sid nor the time to devote to fixing it when it breaks,
interesting learning experience though that would be. (and why do I
capitalise Jessie and not stretch or sid? Who knows?)

Of course no reason you shouldn't run sid if you want to, but not for
critical stuff...



Again, I can handle a reasonable amount of breakage. This amount of 
breakage could become a very bad thing. I sure wouldn't want it to 
escape into the wild. Ric

Information that might help would include what distro you are running.
Sid? Given that this is a GTK error, one might also suggest posting
versions of stuff like the various GTK libraries (libgtk*). Just
guessing.


Since I'm running fully updated sid all the gtk packages are "testing". 
My head hurts. I'm wondering if I could just rip out the gtk3 packages?? Ric
