OpenOffice.org 1.1 fonts are ugly

All of my GTK apps have no problems with fonts, and always look nice. However, OpenOffice.org has big ugly pixelated fonts on the toolbars and whatnot. Is this a problem with OOo through KDE or can it be fixed?

I could fix this by importing all my Windows TrueTypeFonts into OpenOffice (there's a tool called "spadmin" or something like that).

HTH.

I have the fonts downloaded. How do I use spadmin?

It is very easy - I did this and it worked - taken from the manual:

1.Go to the {installpath}/program directory.

2.Enter: ./spadmin

3.Click Fonts.

4.The dialog lists all fonts added for the OpenOffice.org software. You can select and remove fonts using the Remove button or add new fonts with the Add button.

5.Click Add. The Add Fonts dialog appears.

6.Enter the directory from which you want to add the fonts. Press the ... button and select the directory from the path selection dialog or enter the directory directly.

7.A list of the fonts from this directory appears. Select the fonts you want to add. To add all the fonts, click Select All.

8.Click OK. The fonts will now be added.
