I can corroborate this.  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.

Regards,
Jon
