I'm experiencing a problem where all Openoffice fonts, including menus turn unreadable.. See attached screenshot.
Currently I'm using openoffice-base-beta 3.0_00300_m6-1. However, I've also had this issue using the stable OO release, and upgrading to beta fixed it.
xset -q returns a fontpath of /usr/share/fonts/misc, and the gnome fonts are set correctly to Sans. Changing fonts in OpenOffice is impossible since there is only one in the selection box.
I have no idea how to solve this and it prevents me from using openoffice at all.. Can anybody help?

So that's unreadable to you ? Maybe you should go looking for some glasses....

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

berserker, thanks for the tip, now it works! is there a good reason why gsfonts isn't a dependency of openoffice?

gsfonts isn't s dependency of OpenOffice. OOo just requieres a certain amount of basic fonts installed and properly configured.

prior to installing gsfonts, i had freetype2 and libxft installed.. are those not applicable or were/are they configured badly? or in other words, how come OO needs different fonts than gnome/X ?
thanks for the clarification.

if i remember right ttf-dejavu is the most essential one. but that depends on what locale/font types you are running, a Chinese desktop would need some different ttf fonts.
and make sure basic Xorg fonts paths are set properly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ! check the X log file
