I also tried the solution from ft-smooth's README, it works, but when I select page zoom too small, say 50%, all fonts <12pt disappear again. Print preview is empty too. It seems that OO switches antialiasing off for small fonts and 'options/view/antialiasing-from N pixels' setting doesn't help. I ended up compiling libfreetype-2.0.9 with hinting and LD_PRELOAD it in the 'ooffice' script. Version 2.0.9 is the best for OO 1.0.1. Ural.
