fonts openoffice.org2 don't use autohinter in Breezy

[aledin]

Even if I select autohinted fonts with fontconfig, fonts in OpenOffice.org2 are
not autohinted.
A workaround is done calling the executables with LD_PRELOAD (with a freetype
library with autohinter compiled in by default):
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 oowriter2

OpenOffice1 in Hoary had a script that called freetype library compiled with
autohinter automatically.

A good line for Breezy (so all the times that ooffice2 is called -via menu o
double click on an icon - it will be called with LD_PRELOAD):
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/bin/ooffice2 "$*"

Better: add the line
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6
in the beginning of /usr/lib/openoffice2/program/soffice

Matthias, is the freetype task on this bug relevant? If not, please reject it

Any relation with bug 34945 ?

[Jacob Winski (winski)]

re. relation with bug 34945:
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 no longer exists in this directory. Now there are two options:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 oowriter
 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.10 oowriter

Neither fix the bug of 34945. Font is still horrible.

Still an issue for you on Feisty ?

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

Re-open this bug, if still present on Feisty/Gutsy...

In Feisty there is no issue about it. Thanks.
