Bug Description
Binary package hint: libfreetype6
This bug exists in Feisty and Gutsy, I've checked both of them, but probably this bug emerged when OOo started to use freetype 2.
After enabling sub-pixel anti-aliasing in System-

I assume that if OOo would be built with the byte hinting option enabled, then this would solve this issue.

No, it does not. In Ubuntu ooo is using system-libfreetype (upstream is able to do so, too, but at least it had troubles with freetype >=2.2).
It is rather related to the fact that upstream-ooo is ignoring fontconfig- rendering- settings, e.g. if your system-libfreetype has enabled bytecode- interpreter, it will always use it, no matter what setting you are using.
Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian (maybe some more distros), are including patches to get extended fontconfig-support, which is not complete, though. The problem is, that the best hinting style you will be able to get at the moment is grayscale-hinting, maybe some future upstream-release will fix this.
