Matthias: yes, you are right - my recent screenshots show KDE's kcontrol. Though, I wanted to show that the Xavier's suggestio "... try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config", use autohinting, and compare again..." causes the fonts to get unacceptable for KDE. I forgot to mention - switching from native to autohinting and turning on subpixel rendering (via dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config) did not make a difference for OO either...

Why should I try the live cd? I made an upgrade from dapper to edgy and I strive to solve to problem of the distro installed.

Thanks so far, Joerg
