   Thanks for the great tip, but you did it the hard way.  For OpenOffice,    
   you can just go into Tools->Options, Fonts, turn on "Apply replacement    
   table" and replace "Workplace Sans" with something else.  Checking the    
   'Always' box is required to get the rotated numbers in the ruler, but no    
   reboot is necessary.   
      
   By the way, using this method to replace WarpSans with DejaVu Sans, I    
   can see that you correctly identified it.  I'm not sure why it chooses    
   WarpSans for the menus, and WorkPlace Sans for everything else, but it    
   is convenient in this case.   
      
   It's also a bit odd that it makes DejaVu Sans look so bad when it uses    
   that for the menus...
