From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: After a fresh install of RedHat Linux 8.0 (purchased from RedHat), and restoring backed up data for my user account (but _not_ the dot-files except .mozilla) and attempting to launch OpenOffice.org I get a blank working screen and a dialog box with a font that is so large I can't read the message in it. (See attached graphics. Using 1:1 in The Gimp will show what I mean). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.1-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RedHat 8.0 (including OOo) 2.Restore home directory data (except dot-files) 3.Attempt to launch OpenOffice.org Writer To reproduce after first attempt 4. Remove .openoffice, .user60.rdb, and .sversionrc Actual Results: Writer screens are blank, toolbar is off to side and closed. Pulling over reveals huge application fonts. OpenOffice.org is unusable. Expected Results: Reasonable sized fonts for menus which appear at the top or side of the working window. Additional info:
Created attachment 90888 [details] Welcome Dialogue This appears almost completely to the left of the workspace OOo is launched in. I have pulled it over so it is visible. Aside from moving it no changes were made. View in The Gimp at a 1:1 ratio to see what I mean.
Created attachment 90889 [details] The main application screen of OOo.; As with the other attachment view at a 1:1 ration in The Gimp. Once you close the welcom dialogue window pull the right side bar over a small amount. This shows why the toolbar isn't at the top - The font is way too large.
Problem was using centimeters instead of millimeters for display size (dpi was way off as a result).
