I'm not sure if this problem is related, but I didn't see the need for a
new report.

I've been having a lack of sub-pixel hinting on the fonts in OpenOffice
(both 2.2 and 2.3) on Ubuntu (both Feisty, and now, Gutsy) ever since I
can remember. Basically, I managed to pinpoint the problem to Qt apps
only, as Gtk renders my selection in the Appearance>Fonts tab (Subpixel,
Slight, RGB; now updated in Gutsy. In Feisty I used the patches provided
by David Turner) correctly.

As you can see from the screenshot, all my Gtk apps look smooth, while
OpenOffice and all Qt apps look evidently aliased, or poorly anti-
aliased.

This has been driving me mad for months now.

Any ideas how I can fix this from Gnome (besides installing the core KDE
packages or KDE itself)?

If my issue is somehow unrelated to this problem, please let me know so
I can open a new bug report.

Thanks!
