Ubuntu's OpenOffice formatting changed from XP's OO formatting

[Joseph]

Hi Karl....
It seems like that for sure.  Seems that I have only three basic styles of fonts....   And 
everything did indeed go to them.

That "exact same font" is difficult for me.  I've think I've mentioned my font problem before.  I 
have a group of fonts, but they all have the general shape/style of New Times Roman, Ariel, and 
possibly Serif.

There's got to be more available that look different.

OK, I looked in the Synaptic Package Manager and found some....   but I haven't yet tried to see 
what they look like.
