Description Unknown 2003-10-24 21:05:54 UTC 
I'm running a 
Debian Sid with the natice Openoffice 1.1.0 package.

The user interface font in every user's ui and in the installer is fixed to 8. I
tried to force it to be bigger by setting

 <match target="pattern">
   <test qual="any" name="family"><string>Andale Sans UI</string></test>
   <edit name="size" mode="assign"><string>14</string></edit>
 </match>

in freetype's local.conf. This works properlly for xterm (xterm -fa <font>), but
OO seems to ignore that setting. I cant change to font type by substituting as
described in README.gz, but not his size. Furthermore, I am able to switch anti
aliazing on and off... But even with aa enabled the menues keep hardly readable,
since I'm on a 800x600 TFT. Screenshot attached.

I just found http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=211143
which deals with exactley that issue. Using 
echo 'Xft.dpi:96' | xrdb -merge 
or setting the dpi in the config works perfectley for me.
