Hi there,

The whole problem with the font-rendering in OO.o2 only seems to be related to the new version of Freetype2. I'm using StarOffice8 PP4 under Edgy and it shows exactly the same problems as the Ubuntu version of OO.o2. Even the new version (2.1) of OO.o2 shows the same problem.

The PRELOAD-fix with the Dapper-Freetype-Lib solved the problem for me, for both programs and the fonts are looking as they should do.

The only problem i have is, that both programs completely ignore all font-settings made in the GNOME font-settings dialog. But this is fine to me, because i get no longer eye cancer, when i'm writing a letter in StarOffice8.
