Just a problem of a limit to the time I can spend on the packages.. :) We've had all sorts of problems with libfreetype in the past so I'm not rushing out untested changes in that area, and I've had other higher priority changes to do first. Howver, 1.1 actually supplies the library as a shared library, so you might find that moving /usr/lib/openoffice1.1/program/libfreetype.so.6 out of the way brings the same results as LD_PRELOAD. BTW, the fonts on my system do not look much different when I use the system freetype. How different do they look for you? Chris
