Before I get into this, I need to say that this might not have anything to do with the problem you are having. I found the configuration setting that fixed my problem at the following location: "Tools | Options | OpenOffice.org | View" On that window was this item: "Use system font for user interface" I unchecked that box, clicked OK and OpenOffice.org 1.9m62 now looks just as good in KDE as it does in GNOME. I do apologize if this had nothing to do with your problem. Steven P. Ulrick
