Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 104916
Starting up on external monitor results in tiny fonts
Last modified: 2014-01-26 08:54:35 UTC
I'm using my macbook pro with an external 22" monitor (1680x1050). (FYI: I reproduced this error with Mac OS 10.5.8 and with Snow Leopard) Having installed the latest version of OO I recognize this behavior: 1) External monitor connected, starting up OpenOffice: the Fonts are ridiculous tiny on the OO windows (I do have a screenshot) and all fonts (User Interface and document fonts themselves) in OO stay that small 2) If I first disconnect the external monitor, start OO, then OO comes up with normal fonts. I can then reconnect external monitor and the fonts stay at the normal size, I can drag the OO window to the external monitor and it's still ok. However if I then quit and restart SO, I'm back to 1) as described above
Created attachment 64641 [details] screenshot of tiny fonts
Just one additional comment: the screenshot was taken from StarOffice (also latest version) but both OpenOffice and StarOffice exhibit the same behavior. That is bug-consistency, for sure :-) Best, Hansjoerg
