I have briefly tried it using Times New Roman, and also the Courier 10-pitch, and it looks fine, both on-screen and on paper. That is the Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 version I tried. Normally I use the Times, so I obviously have not tested all the fonts available. I believe that the program uses the fonts that you have loaded into your computer in a /fonts directory, so I don't know why it would look any different than any other document printed with that font in another app.However, some distros don't have the True-Type fonts by default--Mint is one such-- and then the resulting output _does_ look pretty awful. If that's your problem, you have to find a set of TTF fonts and load them into your fonts directory. AAMOF, altho I don't normally use Mint, I did install it and play with it for a bit, and when I discovered this problem, I deleted all the ugly fonts and all the weird ones--all kinds of Asian characters--and copied a fonts directory from PCLinuxOs.
