Also my father is noticing some font changes in Open Office. He tells me
the font is very small. Not sure whether to report this as a bug or whether
it can be changed with in Open Office itself? If it is able to be changed
in Open Office how would one do it?

If you want small fonts just lower the size in points of your fonts in
your app preferences. Gnome font preferences use pt as unit. Till now
the GNOME pt unit had no relation with the pt unit the rest of the world
uses. Now it's the same, so if you want small fonts you need to actually
configure small fonts and not change the unit meaning on your system
(and likewise if you want big fonts).
That also means BTW that when you change laptop again your text will
stay the same size regardless of the screen resolution, so you can
invest the time to find good settings you'll keep them a long time.
I'd be interested in a pointer to the discussion that led to this policy
change.
