since our freetype does hinting ldpreloading it before launching openoffice (which is statically linked to a freetype lib) is a nice idea. This can be done by changing lines 180, 181 and 182 of /usr/bin/ooffice to : oosetup) LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 exec "$OOHOME/setup" ;; oopadmin) LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 exec "$OOHOME/spadmin" ;; *) LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 exec "$OOHOME/soffice" "$@" ;;
hrm i'm a little slow on the uptake here. could you explain why this provides better font rendering in OOo?
because oo binary dist is statically linked with a freetype lib with the hinter disabled, while our has it enabled by default, try to see the results. (I forgot a piece of a sentence, in the previous report, sorry)
