Bug#385332: openoffice.org: ignores Xft settings



Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.3-2
Severity: normal

OOo ignores the Xft settings, set in the GNOME control panel. Here are 
my current settings:
Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.dpi:        96.000000
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull
Xft.rgba:       rgb

As shows the attached screenshot, GNOME (just as most applications using 
Xft) takes this into account, with sub-pixel rendering and native 
hinting.

However, OOo ignores these settings: it doesn't use sub-pixel rendering, 
and uses the autohinter instead of the native hinting. This leads to 
these ugly fonts (especially as the autohinter is very bad at rendering 
Bitstream Vera).
