Could well be, but I think we can consider firefox as triaged, as it has all the debugging information, and it has been sent upstream too.
If firefox and openoffice aren't respecting the GNOME display settings i.e. subpixel rendering/hinting then it is unlikely to be cairo, freetype or fontconfig, since these same fonts appear to be rendering fine elsewhere.
This may seem a really obvious question, but what settings are selected in System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts and under the Details button in Fonts while this is happening? I have subpixel smoothing selected and in Details I have 96 dpi resolution, subpixel smoothing and full hinting, subpixel order RGB.
With "None" and "slight" hinting the fonts are made slightly bigger, but with "medium" and "full" they are normal, but they aren't blurred.
