From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.9 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030316 Description of problem: If the user's .openoffice directory (created by running an OO.o app for the first time) is created by running on an X server with the horizontal dimension != 640, 800, 1152, or 1024 (see ooffice script), then $scale gets set to 100 and the FontScaling therefore gets set to 100. This makes most of the help text render as single-pixel high lines. Not very readable. A fix is to always set scale to 110+, or an uglier fix is to edit /usr/lib/openoffice/help/*/custom.css to use Helvetica always. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice-1.0.1-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rm -rf $HOME/.openoffice 2. set X server to one with horizontal dimension != 640, 800, 1152 or 1024 3. ooffice 4. Help Actual Results: unreadble help text Expected Results: readable help text Additional info: As far as I can see, this is a bug introduced by Red Hat and Mandrake. It may only manifest on machines with certain fonts installed (I have lots).
