[gentoo-user] OpenOfficeWriter: wee small fonts

[Christoph Eckert]

Hi all,


recently I did some changes like updating x.org to and 
building some custom kernels to get low latencies for audio 
work.

Today, I started OpenOfficeWriter, and I only got wee small 
fonts. When setting the font size to 96 and zomming the 
document to 200% the text still appears in a size like 9px on 
the screen.

Can anyone provide a link to some documentation or did anyone 
make similar experiences? If so, I'd be glad you let me know.

Thanks a lot,

sorry for the traffic, but I just noticed that it mainly 
happened for some fonts (including times) which have a 
printer symbol in front of it (Postscript fonts?) in the 
fonts popup menu.

The others (TrueType?) behave OK. Weird. Any hints?


Thanks & best regards

Maybe the update changed some things in X.org's configuration file?
Thats my best guess.....

the file is exact the same as before, I copied it manually.

But anyway, thanks a lot for the idea!


Best regards

Missed the original post but it sounds similar to what I had run into awhile
back.

Sorry I don't remember what I did exactly but the problem was basically with
the fonts, not OO in particular.

Now I don't remember exactly but re-emerging the font packages (freetype
specifically and possibly fontconfig) had something to do with it.  Possibly
the re-emerge needed to be followed by a re-emerge of OO.

Sorry I don't remember the details but I do remember that was the basic gist
of the issue.

Hi Dave,

thanks for the hint, will try it out on weekend (reemerging 
OOo will take a while, I guess ;-).


Thanks & best regards
