Hi, and welcome to the forum.

The text from Open office has vanished and the text for option displays all squished. The text from all the button is missing also.

I regret that I can offer no specific suggestion better than [Tutorial] Mac FAQ Q32/A32 and/or Q15/A15 and/or Q39/A39. I think others have resolved the problem by clearing their "font cache".

I run neither Open Office 4.1.6 nor MacOS 10.14 and use a 9-year old Mac without the new "Retina" screen. The difficulty you report does not occur on my system. If Mac FAQ didn't help, I recommend that you use the Search facility in this forum and see if any topics seem similiar to your difficulty. Start out searching for "display", "displaying", "button", "missing" or similar terms. Reviewing the search results may give you other terms to try.
