Hi, You're probably aware that by default the font hinting with antialiased fonts in OpenOffice leaves a lot to be desired. The font FAQ indicates that this is because of the Apple patent problems with Freetype. Still, I've discovered that it's fairly trivial to work aroud this without actually modifying anything or rebuilding OpenOffice. This obviously depends on you having a freetype library on your system which does have autohinting and the bytecode interpreter enabled.
Simply: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 before executing 'openoffice' results in nicely hinted fonts.
