[Solved] Cannot see OO window text

Post by MrMyles »

I was running OO 3 on Mac OSX 10.11.1 and noticed that it needed an update. Clicked the automatic updater and it was blank. Could not see any text. Could see button shapes, no text.
I went to OO.O and downloaded 4.1 from there. Problem persists. I cannot see any text.

I can open files and they work fine. I can see the top menu bar text. Just the OO popup windows in 3.X I cannot see text in.
And cannot complete the install of OO 4.1 I assume because I cannot read what is written to click the right box.

I assume I am missing the default font for the program. Can someone tell me what it is so I can turn it on?

Try clearing and recreating your font cache. See this thread for a similar problem
