Forgot to add, that after a reboot, all is fine again, until you install or upgrade OOo. Then have to reboot again.

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

if the font looks OK in other apps the question still is, what is *OO* doing?

a) what if anything is changing in TB options - open about:config and type in "font" to bring up all the font options, record which are in bold (these have non-default values). then after OO upgrade/install list them again and find out what changed.  
  tools>options>advanced>...

b) have you looked at or filed an OO bug?

c) did you see this problem prior to thunderbird v2?
