Linux_Fan Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hello, Recently, I installed OpenOffice 1.0.2 [OO]. The font that is used for the screen is just worse. I find out that a font can be changed via Tools -> Options -> Font Replacement. But how do I know which font has to be replaced? Where in OO can I see what kind of font(s) is/are used for the screen?

Guest Peo Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Andale Sans GUI or something like that. I can't check it now but you should find it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveleh Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Hi Peo, you said: Andale Sans GUI or something like that. I can't check it now but you should find it easily. The action you need to take is as follows (this is taken from the OO mailing lists at www.openoffice.org) Choose Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/Font Replacement and replace Andale Sans UI with Helvetica. You can of course use any font that you wish as a replacement. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peo Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 hehe Daveleh, the one who needed help was not me, but Linux_Fan :D :D Thanks anyway :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linux_Fan Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 The reason I asked the question, about finding out which font is currently used is the fact that 'Andale Sans UI' is not shown in the list of avialable fonts in the window of 'Font Replacement'. So how can I replace a font that I don't know or isn't listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jglen490 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 It's strange, and it is definitely counter-intuitive, but it is also in OO.o's user instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linux_Fan Posted March 1, 2003 Author Share Posted March 1, 2003 I couldn't find in the user's instruction how to find out which font is currently used for the screen. So, please, if someone who is familiar with OO can tell me? And Andale sans UI is defently not shown on my system in the list under font replacement.

scoopy Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 No, it is NOT shown, and I have no idea why, but you have to manually type it in. Here's a link that might help: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=2373 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andale Sans UI will not be shown in the font list. Just type it into the left hand text box and then select an alternative in the right hand text box. You can choose anything you like.
