Confirmed. To my untrained eye this doesn't look like thinner fonts
(I've compared two screenshots and the same text in the about dialog
takes up exactly the same width), but rather like they're not
antialiased under wayland.

Title:
[snap] Fonts are not anti-aliased on Wayland
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Edit: on second thoughts, I think the below seemed to change the
situation because it meant I logged into the Ubuntu session instead of
the Ubuntu on Xorg session. The bug is simply that fonts look
'thinner' than they should in the LibreOffice snap on Wayland, and
it's only the snap that's affected.

After using `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:communitheme/ppa` and adding
the packages there, and then installing `ppa-purge`, removing the
packages, and using `ppa-purge` on the PPA, my fonts in the
LibreOffice snap seemed to break. I've given an example of 'a quick
brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' and a screenshot of a Writer
document and its PDF export in Document Viewer side by side.
