Description Uwe Fischer 2007-01-15 09:40:21 UTC 
(This issue is a follow-up from issue 71217 ) 
Original text:
Ooo gives the option:
  Tools->Options->OOo->View->"Use system font for user interface". 

If this is *unchecked*, then where DOES the user interface get its font? There's
no documentation on this, nor any obvious pref to set.
----------
Is changing the text really the best solution? Surely the correct thing would be
to have 2 radio buttons and a select:
  [x] Use system font ($FontName) for User Interface
  [ ] Use another font for UI: [-select-]


After all, what the user is probably trying to achieve is to say "I don't like
the font OOo is currently using for its UI; I'd prefer to use <this> one."

At the moment, the user is simply presented with the choice "Use one (random,
unknown) font, or use another (random, unknown) font."

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
