Description dgrant 2002-01-22 09:30:57 UTC 
Can we use a beter font for OpenOffice?  The fonts look very ugly, for example,
the fonts in the menus, and in the style list, etc...  We need to move to a more
appealing font.  What do you think?

Joost->Falco: not a bug but a feature enhancement of OpenOffice.org.
Reassigned to you
Comment 2 falko.tesch 2002-01-29 11:12:57 UTC 
select yourself one: Tools - Options - Font Replacement. Choose the
font you want!

Falco Tesch: Can you suggest some fonts to try? The only one i know is
NOT relevant is Thorndale, the mysterious default font that isn't even
included in a default installation of OO 641C.

Since OO render all scaleable fonts as smooth as barbed wire, it's a
hard task for a user to know what to alias to what:

Firstly: The only fonts displaying in the font replacement list are
the scalable ones, so any combination will turn out looking equally ugly.

Secondly: Which font is used in the UI in the first place? Which font
am I trying to replace?
