Description Michalis Giannakidis 2007-08-26 10:23:17 UTC

Hello

I updated openoffice-bin from 2.0 to 2.2. The application opens and the menu fonts look bigger than in the older version. Also they look a bit more fuzzy, with an annoying shadow around them.

Other applications (firefox, konqueror, kpdf ) look normal and same as before.

My desktop session is KDE 3.5.7

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

There's nothing we could do about openoffice-bin, sorry.

My system after the upgrade is using libfreetype.so.6.3.15. 

I tried to start up OpenOffice using libfreetype.so.6.3.8 (by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load the older library). The menu fonts of oowriter got smaller and (maybe) less fuzzy.


Could this change of fonts be a libfreetype issue?
