Bug#640463: In my opinion it is recommended to give users the choice between libreoffice and openoffice.org in wheezy
Subject: libreoffice: Userinterface font is too small, font size can not be changed
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:3.4.6-2~bpo60+1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I installed libreoffice from backports on squeeze-stable and find it strenuous for my eyes
to work with it. There seems to be no way to adjust the size of the interface-font. Today
I downloaded Apache-OpenOffice from here: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html
installed it and am going to use this now, removing libreoffice. Installation is not
difficult, one has to install all .deb files in the tarball, not forgetting the
desktop-integration-.deb. This is my recommended workaround.
