I just used:
aurora:~/openoffice-debug# dpkg -i libfreetype6_2.1.2-9_i386.deb
dpkg - warning: downgrading libfreetype6 from 2.1.3-4 to 2.1.2-9.
(Reading database ... 62710 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libfreetype6 2.1.3-4 (using
libfreetype6_2.1.2-9_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libfreetype6 ...
Setting up libfreetype6 (2.1.2-9) ...

The next apt-get run insists on updating it to 2.1.3-4 again, but the
second tests were done with 2.1.2-9

I don't know where the zoom-settings are, as I can't read the menues.

But selecting the font-size next to the bold-B to a two settings smaller
size makes the text disappear, yes.
