I just installed OpenOffice 1.1.2 under OS X Panther, and the fonts, out of
the box, looked like bit-blasted heck. But a few minutes of poking around
the docs and experimenting yielded the following cure:
-
Open up any new OpenOffice document (text is probably easiest).
-
Under the "Tools" menu, select "Options."
-
Under the heading "OpenOffice.org," select "Fonts"
-
Check the "Apply Replacement Table" checkbox
-
Underneath the checkbox line, in the "Font" combobox, type "Andale Sans UI" (it wasn't in my popup menu, I had to type it in by hand)
-
In the "Replace With" combobox, type or select "Interface User"
-
Click the green check mark to add that to your list of substitutions, and make sure the "Always" and "Screen" checkboxes are checked in the listbox, and then click OK.
Voila, a big improvement.

more copies of Office because the fonts looked so horrible in
OpenOffice,…you just saved me $5000!!
