[upstream] Anti-aliasing-option in OpenOffice does not work, when Anti-Aliasing is turned off in KDE system settings

[mokka]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Hello,

here is how to reproduce the issue in Kubuntu 6.10 (edgy) :

1. Disable Anti-Aliasing for fonts in KDE via System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts

2. Enable "Screen font antialiasing" in OpenOffice Writer via Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> View

But although the antialiasing option is enabled for OpenOffice, the fonts actually aren`t anti-aliased.

This has not been a problem in Kubuntu 6.06 (at least on my machine).
I don`t know if this is an issue in Ubuntu 6.10.

Hi

I have the same problem (also running edgy). When using AA in KDE OpenOffice menus and Interface is gray and blurry, and when switching off AA it gets VERY edgy and ugly?

This was not a problem in Dapper. It might however be a problem with OpenOffice 2.0.4?

I can confirm this using openoffice.org in Feisty.

I believe that this is probably due to the KDE setting turning off anti-aliasing for the whole system. I will forward this bug upstream to see if they can potentially grey out the option in cases that it has no use.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
