    I was trying OpenOffice on my Sid box running 2.4.26-1-686 kernel, and
    noticed that some fonts (Times and Palladino for example) appear
    reversed. This happens when apply a style to a body of text. Suppose I
    make it Text Body, and then modify the style so that Text Body is normal
    Times font. If I choose the font to be normal, it appears as bold
    onscreen and vice versa. However, it prints properly (I tried printing
    to a PDF file).

    I then tried this to check this on my box running Sarge (2.4.26-1-686)
    and that too showed similar behavior.

    Moreover, the bold button on the tool bar doesn't seem to have any
    effect on the appearance of the font on screen.

    Anybody else experiencing this problem?

    Here is what I have on Sid box:
    ~$ dpkg -l openoff* | grep '^ii.*'
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2 high-quality office productivity suite
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2 OpenOffice.org office suite binary files
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2+3 Debian specific parts of OpenOffice.org
    ii openoffice.org 1.1+20030814-3 OpenOffice.org office suite help (English)
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2 English (US) language package for
    openoffice
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2 French language package for openoffice.org
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2 OpenOffice.org MIME bindings for KDE

    and on Sarge, I have this:
    $> dpkg -l openoff* | grep '^ii.*'
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2 high-quality office productivity suite
    ii openoffice.org 1.1.1-2 OpenOffice.org office suite binary files
