Just switch! - Fonts can make a big difference!
I had known for quite a while that the additional fonts bundled with StarOffice are critical for optimal Microsoft Office compatibility/interoperability. However, yesterday I really understood why our fonts make such a big difference.
Many documents (especially PowerPoint presentations) use different bullets to illustrate all kinds of lists. In order to be able to display all those bullets correctly, StarOffice bundles a font called StarSymbol. What I did not know was that StarSymbol contains about 1700 symbols whereas the free alternatives contain only about 600 symbols. Thus, make sure that you have the right fonts installed!
