OpenOffice in chroot -- fonts?

Got it working with a bit of a hack.

I added the following to my .Xresources:
Xft.dpi: 96

I also installed xfce4 and kdelibs in the chroot to test, but I doubt
that made a difference.

With the fixed DPI, OO went to the right size. Don't know what DPI it
was defaulting to though.
