Bug#385798: openoffice.org: font hinting still does not work with the current version ob libfreetype

[Bernd Schubert <bernd-schubert@gmx.de>]

Hello Rene,

I think I found the reason why the bytecode interpreter is not used, see here:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=17880

Now, there are two ways to resolve this bug:

1.) Quick'n dirty. Simply replace FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT in 
vcl/source/glyphs/gcach_ftyp.cxx by FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL or 
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD or FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V (if recompiling wouldn't take >8h 
on Opteron 242, it would be easy to test which gives best results).

2.) Take the latest patch from 
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=64508 and adjust it, so that 
it applies to openoffice-2.0.4.
From the point of the user wishes and user config probably the best, but its 
clearly not a simple replace patch and might be buggy.

Which one do you prefer?

Cheers,
Bernd
