A number of SL 4.4 users here have complained that openoffice is 'not working any more'. When openoffice files are opened, text is missing from the display. (Not all text is missing, I think that it is only text written in the default font - I can't tell you what that font is though.) Using my SL 4.4. system, I have also noticed that some firefox text looks different and can also report that Thunderbird has changed the default font in which I write emails.
