User Interface – Use system font for user interface
If you prefer to use the system font (the default font for your
computer and operating system) instead of the font provided by OOo
for the user interface, select this option.
User interface – Screen font antialiasing
(Not available in Windows.) Select this option to smooth the screen
appearance of text. Enter the smallest font size to apply antialiasing.
Menu – Show icons in menus
Select this option if you want icons as well as words to be visible in
menus.
Font Lists - Show preview of fonts
When you select this option, the font list looks like Figure 21, Left,
with the font names shown as an example of the font; with the
option deselected, the font list shows only the font names, not their
formatting (Figure 21, Right). The fonts you will see listed are those
that are installed on your system.

Font Lists - Show font history
When you select this option, the last five fonts you have assigned to
the current document are displayed at the top of the font list.
3D view – Use OpenGL
Specifies that all 3D graphics from Draw and Impress will be
displayed in your system using OpenGL-capable hardware. If your
system does not have OpenGL-capable hardware, this setting will be
ignored.
3D view – Use OpenGL – Optimized output
Select this option for optimized OpenGL output. Disable the
optimization in case of graphical errors of 3D output.
3D view – Use dithering
The Use dithering option uses dithering to display additional colors
when the computer’s graphics system offers less than the optimal 16
million (24-bit) colors. Dithering creates the illusion of new colors
