seth: this is a dup of some bug ... i cant remember what bug ... but the last one you had no idea wtf the guy was talking about ... something about freetype and version hinting ... basically his english was quite broken This definitly makes fonts in OpenOffice.org look *much* better. I found that the best place to put this so that it is used all the time is in the /usr/bin/ooffice script at line 179, just add "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so" and you're done. fixed in cvs bleh fixed This appears to actually break the fonts in openoffice-bin-1.0.2. See this thread in the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=270314 this isn't what breaks the binary, its a broken fontpath that breaks it...read the ewarns after upgrading x and installing openoffice |
