OpenOffice, when run within GNOME, pays no attention to fontconfig's lcdfilter setting. Fonts are lcdfiltered nicely in all apps except OpenOffice. OpenOffice doesn't entirely respect fontconfig. It still uses the legacy X resource manager for some font settings (see `xrdb -query`). Gnome-settings-daemon kindly exports settings like Xft.hinting and Xft.hintstyle to Xrm, but not Xft.lcdfilter. Ubuntu has a simple patch, 40_xres_lcddefault.patch, which works for me. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/271283 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

This should probably be reported to upstream also: http://bugzilla.gnome.org
