Firstly, I don't think there is such a thing as "bytecode autohinter". I think that contradicts itself. You use either native hinting (with the bytecode interpreter) or auto hinting. Secondly, if you enable subpixel in ~/fonts.conf, openoffice will use something similar to autohinting + grayscale + medium hinting Otherwise, openoffice use something like no hinting + grayscale. Note that in both case, antialiasing is done with grayscale level, not with subpixel (RGB). All these results are totally counter-intuitive. openoffice's fontconfig support seems badly broken in its current state, so I hope it'll be improved. I don't think there is much you can do besides fixing the code.
