I think the problem is that several things are discussed here, what is never a good idea to get a bug fixed. The original problem seems to be resolved now for a while, what you, Chris, have shown in the screenshot attached once again.
The latest activity on this report seems to be related to other problems with font-rendering in ooo, that is the way hinting is done, that is the partial fontconfig-support and especially the lack of subpixel-rendering (e.g. comments 14 and 20 are dealing with this). These issues are discussed in a lot of other reports in launchpad and are not trivial to fix. -- openoffice 2.x has a serious problem with font rendering in Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, and 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92693 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
