Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 126828
None of the text in the dialog boxes will show

Created attachment 85274 [details] dialog box The text in the dialog boxes, including the screen I get when I'm supposed to choose a program, and the box that appears when I x out a program, just flat out disappeared a couple days ago. I've attached an image of the find and replace box as an example.
Amy, What Hardware and Operating System are you using, and were there any software updates, additions, or configuration changes since it was working last?
My OS is Yosemite version 10.10.5 Here's my computer's info: MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 As far as I can tell it was kind of random. There weren't any changes as far as updates go before it stopped working, although I did make OS updates after to see if that would help and it didn't. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the program, and when that didn't work, I tried an earlier version and am still experiencing the same issues. Another weird thing that's happening is when I open a text document all the text throughout the doc jumbles together on the first line.
Not an AOO bug but a Mac OS system font issue. See this thread: http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28312
(In reply to oooforum from comment #3) > Not an AOO bug but a Mac OS system font issue. > See this thread: > http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28312 Amy please confirm whether this resolves the issue for you, in case we were premature about this. If you confirm, we can change this to fixed. There is probably someplace we should collect these kinds of tips and workarounds so that users can look for them. All suggestions are welcome.
I tried the font wrangler solution and that worked. Thanks!
Although related to font configurations, this impacts our users and we can view this as a fix.
Hi, unfortunately the problem came back. This time after I cleaned the cache using font finagler, nothing changed.

OK, this should not be treated as resolved in this case. The use of "fixed" usually indicates that there was something that was done at this end to make a change somewhere. Also, we need more confirmation or something that makes a clear resolution. There is a second tip at the end of the Community Forum thread about what may be the OS X cause here. Amy, have you tried that? Do you need advice on how to perform a terminal command?
