Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
With subpixel smoothing, fonts are rendered very poorly in OpenOffice.
1. Start with a fresh user directory.
2. Enable subpixel smoothing in the System/Preferences/Font desktop
dropdown menu.
3. Launch OpenOffice writer.
Fonts are rendered very irregularly when subpixel smoothing is enabled,
but are acceptable (not ideal) when best shapes are enabled. OpenOffice
seems to be doing its own font rendering, rather than using the system
engine. No changes made in OpenOffice view preferences fix the problem,
though they do result in different kinds of ugliness. Fonts are fine in
all other applications tested.
** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
