I don’t know why but the font in the help section (and the spreadsheet) is all screwed up. But it’s OK in the Word Pro

Have you been messing with the SYSTEM font settings in Ubuntu ? … not the LibreOffice Ones, the Ubuntu ones.
Pooky, I’m sorry, but LOL!
Ok back to normal now, like Mark asked have you touched the Ubuntu system fonts? There is an option which changed the font for all applications.
Nope, I don’t even know to mess with those settings.
What! Where!

Are the fonts correct in everything else ?
Have you got the gnome-tweak-tool installed ?
Did this issue only start after messing with the default templates ?
BTW, I’ve added another link to your other LO topic:
http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=10005.msg72660#msg72660
see that.
When you change the set the default template in LO … there is an option to set it back to default … have you tried that ?
Yes, with one exception, the LO Spreadsheet
Have you got the [b]gnome-tweak-tool[/b] installed ?Not sure, how can I check?
Did this issue only start after messing with the default templates ?Nope
BTW, I've added another link to your other LO topic: http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=10005.msg72660#msg72660 see that.Will take a look later
When you change the set the default template in LO .. there is an option to set it back to default .. have you tried that ?Has no effect on it.
What a weird issue. :o I guess the only other thing that could possible do such a thing would be gnome-tweak-tool like Mark suggested.
How long has this been going on? When did it first occur? (If applicable)
I think it’s gotta be when I installed the fonts…
Think I’ve found the Gnome-Tweak-Tool. It was well hidden, I’ve got quite a lot of stuff yet to discover.
I’ve had a look at ‘Customise KDE Icons’ and tried to install a new icon pack and it told me KDE4 not installed…
Now I’ve actually found it, what do I need to do and can I somehow stick a shortcut to the desktop?
…
Ubuntu is STILL new to me SIX MONTHS ON… 
I think it's gotta be when I installed the fonts...
What fonts ? … and how dd you install them ?
The offending font was ‘icedeart.ttf’ (icedearth) and I cant remember how I installed them. I have removed the font ant the LO help screen text is back to normal now.
I’ve got Font Manager (Applications/Graphics/Font Manager) installed but it goes so far into loading the fonts then quits out.
BTW, I’ve got Compiz installed but the fancy stuff doesn’t work, is that because of my choice of desktop?
e.g. The spinning square in the centre with the other desktops on where I’ve put other programs (if that makes any sense to you!)
Choice of distro and desktop I think … AFAIK, the desktop “cube” only worked on Gnome 2.x … but I could be wrong, I haven’t really tried.
Glad you sorted the font thing though 
I’ve got Font Manager (Applications/Graphics/Font Manager) installed but it goes so far into loading the fonts then quits out.
That may be another font issue (maybe a corrupt font or something), as I’ve just installed font-manager on my 11.10 PC, and it works flawlessly.
Would be handy if you could remember how you installed your extra fonts.
Could have been ‘Font Manager’ as I don’t know how to install them myself, that’s probably the reason I have ‘Font Manager’ installed.
But I dont know why it’s not working now?
Try forcing a rebuild of the font cache information by running:
sudo fc-cache -fv
Now see if font-manager works.
Erm not to burst anyones bubble, but when you open a font, there will be a button that says “install”. No need to install extra software. It’s been there since 10.04 when I first tried it. It isn’t available in Peppermint though.
Also, you can install font to the .font folder in your home directory. It’s a hidden folder so you’ll have to press Ctrl+H to show the hidden folders.
I know that 
… but the point is something is broken if font-manager isn’t working … irrespective of whether font-manager is necessary.
The correct way if installing USER fonts is first (as you say) to place them in your
~/.fonts
directory … create that directory if necessary.
[EDIT]
Or if you want them available to ALL users (system wide) … put them in a sub directory of:
/usr/share/fonts
[END EDIT]
Then update the font cache by runnng:
sudo fc-cache -v
Then close and re-open any applications that you need access to the newly install font in.
Actually, now you mention it, I think that how I actually did it, Selected all font files first then did a mass install.
Just installed the Font Manager so I could take a look at the fonts to see what they looked like.
Nope, even after an uninstall and re-install.
Where there any errors when you ran that.
What is the output from:
ls -a /.font
Or as BkS suggest … just uninstall font-manager, it’s not necessary.
