LXDE + OOo Impress + Ubuntu --> compressed subscripts

I'm posting this here, hoping that someone might at least give me advice on where else to go. I don't know if this is a bug, and if so where the bug should be reported since it seems to be about the combination LXDE, OOo Impress and Ubuntu. So please show some patience.

I have been using Eeebuntu 3.0 LXDE beta on my EeePC 900. It's been working great, except for this little thing. I use it at work for presentations with Impress, but subscripts get completely compressed and look terrible, particularly in slide show mode. I then changed to Lubuntu 10.04 yesterday, but the problem remains. The issue doesn't seem hardware specific as it is reproduced on an old Dell Optiplex GX60. I should also say that OOo Writer works OK in this respect.

Today I decided that the problem might be Ubuntu or Debian specific so I installed the Fedora LXDE respin. And the problem is gone!

So I suppose I can use Fedora, and that's it. However, I would like to stay with Ubuntu because I use it on my other computers and would like to avoid having to learn another distribution from scratch.

Any ideas?

Hi,

this is a pretty wired problem, but I think, when you ask in the Lubuntu or Openoffice Forums you may get more answers. I never had those problems, so I'm sadly don't know how to solve this.
