[Upstream] [hardy] The Formula Fonts dialog is not GNOME HIG compliant

Bug Description

The OpenOffice.org Formula editor's fonts dialog is massively HIG incompliant:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~bruijn9/temp/openoffice_math_fonts.png

Either the fonts ComboBoxes shouldn't be ComboBoxes, but just plain labels, because the ComboBoxes serve no purpose at this point.

Or the Modify button is removed, and the ComboBoxes are filled with the entire system font list, and fonts can be changed through the ComboBoxes themselves.

upstream comments "works as designed", but agrees that a redesign is necessary.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
