Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
For some reason, OpenOffice.org seems to be set to use a sans-serif font for formulae on Ubuntu.
This is almost never what serious formula writers will want. It leads to confusion between capital-I and lowercase-l, and makes you look like one of those people who've never read a serious textbook before.
I am assuming that this is a setting that has been configured in the packaging of OOo for Ubuntu, and my testing on Fedora 7 has shown that the correct serif fonts are used when fonts are created on that system.
As a further reason for switching, consider the fact that I am using Fedora at home and Ubuntu at work, and now I have a document with half of my formula in sans serif and half of them in serif. Bah.
Cheers ;-)

I believe that this bug has been corrected in Ubuntu hardy openoffice.org 1:2.4.0~
