Subpixel hinting in OpenOffice?

Hi,

I managed to activate subpixel hinting in opensuse 10.3 as described in
http://opensuse-community.org/SubpixelHinting successfully.
Unfortunately, OpenOffice seems not to make use of it, so the fonts look
really ugly now in comparison with the rest of the system.

Does anybody per chance know how to active subpixel hinting in OpenOffice?

Thanks,
Jörg

Hi Jörg

Have you found a solution to this problem? I'm also suffering from ugly OO
fonts while the rest of the system looks good.

I solved this by simply uninstalling the packages included with the distro
and downloaded the full installation from openoffice.org. Added the RPMS
directory and the desktop integration subdirectory as local repositories.

HTH,
