Wow, smart. I will have to check this on my system as well.

Hello List,
i wrote about this problem on this list and the debian help list as well as a
few linux support forums. Noone was really able to help however i found the
reason for my problem (or so i believe) so i want to share it in case someone
else runs in the same pain. I have also installed AbiWord to verify the problem
that the Nimbus Sans L font looks different than in the font management tool
and indeeed, the same happens there. I then did an lsof on the abiword process
(while editing a document with the Nimbus Sans L font) and after looking up the
encoded font names i noticed that Abiword actually uses Nimbus Sans L condensed
instead of the regular file. Why it does so i dont know. The same seems to
happen in openOffce, theres probably a configuration file around for this but i
was unable to find it so far. I just removed the condensed file and linked the
regular to it and viola, fonts look fine now.
HTH someone.

Hello List,
desperately seeking help. Reposting this request i put
on the forum yesterday without any reply.
i try to do an overall distribution and OpenOffice
upgrade from an older Debian Sarge (unstable, back
then) , kde 3.1 and Openoffice 1.1.1 to the recent
Ubuntu, which comes with KDE 3.4, and OpenOffice
1.1.3. This would apply to several workstations in the
office. I did the upgrade on one machine and it turned
out that the main problem now is that the fonts appear
totally different. In detail, this only applies to
OpenOffice , and the font used troughout the template
docs in this office is Nimbus Sans L. This font looks
sort of "condensed" now and also prints out the wrong
way. Other applications dont seem to have this
problem. I have checked one million settings within
KDE and compared to the older machines but couldnt
really single out anything that could cause the
problem. I have tried to figure out the actual font
files and replaced them with those of the old
installation but it did not help. Let me add that i am
not exactly an expert
when it comes to X11 font management, left alone KDE,
debian and OpenOffice on top.
Each and every help greatly appreciated. I do realize
that it would be better if i understood the bits and
tricks around X11 fonts and i will certainly look into
it in greater detail once this is solved but for now i
would really be glad if any font expert could give me
a helping hand. The guy on the testing machine cannot
work right now...
