Ok, I bit the bullet.

Even though I can run the Windows version of OO in my setup via OpenOffice, I downloaded from the OO website 101.5 megs of OpenOffice install files. I get it unpacked to discover the package is dozens of rpms.

Ok, I "alien" that. I finish the install.

It seemed to go fine with no errors. Now here is the rub:

Fonts do not appear. Little dotted rectangles show up in place of each letter.

BUT!

If I run OO as root, fonts work. I can see text in menus and documents, but not anti-aliased. They look crappy but at least I can read them.

So, does anyone know what I can do? Is there some permissions change I need to do? An additional file to download an install?

I looked at some websites that deal with OO font issues, but nothing seemed to apply to me.
