Ah, finally I understood what you mean. Got it recompiled within 1min and 
first test was immediately successfull - the screenshots now look identical.

I suggest anyone who is interesting tries those new libs:

NOTE: They are for openoffice.org-2.0.4~rc1 NOT for rc2!

About the patch, since it sets normal hinting it might be possible one could 
disable this flag at all. However, to verify this, I would need to read the 
code more carefully, I only don't have the time to do that. 

Cheers,
Bernd
