From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: OpenOffice worked for a little while after initial clean install of RH9, then suddenly ALL fonts in ALL documents are "double spaced". I've nuked my .openoffice directory, removed all font paths, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. I saw some blurb before about certain double byte fonts being in the font path causing this because of fonts.dir/fonts.scale not rebuilding the same as they were distributed in the initial .rpms, but I can't locate the blurb any longer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open OpenOffice 2. Gag 3. Go Blind Additional info:

I've confirmed that this is an Open Office Bug that they think they've fixed: http://www.openoffice.org/project/www/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12705 My workaround was as suggested, starting X with -dpi 100. Works like a champ now. If you guys would like to back port the patch for an errata release, I can recreate this at will and would be happy to test it.
