OpenOffice.org don't show any menu text

[Xwarman]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When I open any part of OOo there is not any menu text. (See Screenshot --> the Menu bar of OOo)

By the way: If I try to start the Bug Report part of OOo. it collects problem information etc, start firefox with launchpad side, but from that moment on, my mouse don't exept any more klicks. I'am working on a Compaq nx9105 notebook. Moving of the mouse is possible, but not the integrated mousepad, or an perifiral mouse, accept any klicks, so, that I must kill the Windowseasson by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. After relogin I am able to use the mouse as ever. If I try to do the discribed way again, the same error comes again. What can I do?
I'am using Kubuntu 8.10 x64 with last updates.

I had seen, that the error comes by install of a wine application too. This seems caused by the nvidia glx 96 graphics driver, witch is installed by the hardware tool for third party drivers of kubuntu. This version is the latest from the package list. My graphic card is the nvidia geforce4 440 go 64M. I think there could be other programs witch show the same error. I think that all must be caused by an error in the graphics driver.

Same problem here (only just discovered Ubuntu - so don't know what I'm talking about)

Have some kind of NVIDIA card running on an AMD 1900 with ubuntu 8 and the latest kernal and stuff.

Was working fine until I installed some new fonts...

I hope I find an answer - going back to Windows will destroy me...:-(

WorkAround from:

"
Same here. Running Ubuntu 8.10 Gnome / Compiz. I found a way to make the menus appear. Set effects to none, open any OpenOffice application (I opened Spreadsheet). Go to Tools->Options. Expand OpenOffice.org and select "View" and de-select Screen Font Antialiasing. Then activate your effects again; the fonts stay."

Difficult to do when you've no menu text but screen shot below will guide you.

6th menu from left>last item at bottom>SEE SCREEN SHOT FOR REST

Good Luck
