Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8011
No fonts in menus on Debian unstable/testing after msttcorefonts upgrade
Last modified: 2003-03-12 14:37:27 UTC
All fonts for menus have disapeared. I have found this information from google: <I>Some people reported, that there are problems with some fonts. Sometimes, it is possible, that will get into trouble, that you have no menus ecetera. It seems, that the truetype fontserver xfs make some problems with running OpenOffice.org. On had to reinstall the whole debian to get OpenOffice.org working. This might be a upstream bug, but we are not sure and we do not know where it comes from. We are looking for that.</I> but I am not useing xfs. I have tried reinstalling and deleteing all my user settings. This is on Debian Sarge/testing this has been tested on both OpenOffice.org distribution and the Debian packages. See attachments for better explination.
Created attachment 3033 [details] screenshot of openoffice with the missing menus
Thank you for using and supporting OOo. Consider taking a look at the following FAQ: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html There are entries on the user interface fonts and changing the default user interface font.
I read that faq and that is where I was directed to this bug reporting system. Nothing there had fixed my problem. The closest one was the Latin font named arial problem except I don't have any Latin fonts installed.
This is caused by the msttcorefonts package. Please see this URL for an explaination and how to fix: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200210/msg00172.html
Thanks Chris for jumping in with the solution.
As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved <wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
