This post is a rant.

This is driving me nuts. I'm struggling to find a font in OpenOffice that is consistent size across Windows, Linux, and OS X. Not only do they not all have the same selection of fonts (they don't even all have Helvetica or Georgia!), but the same font appears differently on all of them. Here are some screenshots using Times New Roman, bold, 11 point.

2. Linux

3. OS X using the X11 OpenOffice

4. OS X using NeoOffice
