It could be your desktop settings causing the effect.
Have you made any changes other than installing 2.0.3? The new
OpenOffice is probably not the source of the problem if it works with
the root account.
Because the root account is seldom used, it normally has the default
desktop settings. I only changed my root settings once when I had
postponed creation of the user account and forgot that I was logged in
as root.
I use Kde and the Kde settings are in the System part of the Mandriva
menu. Gnome settings are probably in the same location.
I believe font folders would have the necessary permission settings.
I have Mandriva 2006 also and had 2.0.3 installed briefly. (I
reinstalled 2.0.2 for other reasons.) Fonts were not a problem.
You could also check the settings in Tools >Options.

Based on the fonts looking different based on user, is it not
something to do with access permissions...
Do the non-privileged users not have access to the appropriate font
directories and are simply using default fonts which makes it look the
way it does??

Hi OpenOffice,
I am experiencing a problem:
I had OO 2.0.0 install in Mandriva 2006 and everything was just fine,
the
fonts looked very nice.
Now I just installed OO 2.0.3 and the fonts (Arial, Verdana, etc...) are
looking ugly, they have shadows and I cannot get rid of them. To make
the
problem even more strange when I use OO as root, the fonts are nice, but
as a user the fonts are just ugly.
How can I get of your old releases of OpenOffice (2.0.0 or 2.0.1) ???
Regards,
Santiago.
