Hello list, I'd like to use OOo but its font handling drives me crazy. I'm a Gentoo user and right now I have openoffice-bin-2.3.1 installed. This is a x86 box.
I also have these: freetype-2.3.4 fontconfig-2.4.2 pango-1.18.3 gtk+-2.12.1 freetype is compiled with bytecode interpreter and subpixel hinting support. My ~/.fonts.conf file is setup to disable the autohinter. It enables antialiasing for all fonts except those between 7-12 pt as well as all bold, italic and oblique fonts. Hinting is set to hintfull. I'm using KDE-3.5.7 and the standard KDE desktop font is "Tahoma 8". In my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 gtk-font-name is also set to "Tahoma 8". Every application (e.g. firefox, ...) except OOo follows my font settings. OOo is set to use the system font. Anti-aliasing is turned off because the setting doesn't cut it for my taste (one can only set a minimal font size after which antialiasing is applied). But disabling antialising in OOo doesn't make it use the system's antialising settings I set in ~/.fonts.conf either. Also the system font OOo uses it not really the system font. It may be Tahoma, but it's definitely not 8pt. And the hinting is far worse than with my other applications. I don't have webspace to upload images to. But in case you're interested I could attach screenshots to a mail on a personal basis. Is there anything I can do about this mess? Maybe any env vars to change the pango backend? Anything?
