Bug#502638: oo.o packages don't depend on ttf-bitstream-vera for ui font
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1:2.4.1-11
Severity: normal
If the Bitstream Vera fonts (package ttf-bitstream-vera) are not
installed, OpenOffice.org uses ugly fonts for the UI. Worse, the font
metrics are way off, resulting in huge drop-downs, text boxes, menus,
etc. Most of the toolbars are off the screen when it's doing this.
I can confirm that installing ttf-bitstream-vera causes OpenOffice.org
to look like any other application on the system, and removing it causes
the UI font to mess up again.
Either OpenOffice.org should be switched to use DejaVu as the default
font (which it depends on), or the package should depend or recommend
ttf-bitstream-vera.
