Ok, then not "a bit" but "a bit more".

Anyway, I just had a look, adding the patch from Fedora for this isn't
possible in the ooo-build-2-0-4 branch because it'll break with the
fix for bold CJK characters... (And I didn't yet find out how to
combine both sanely, and there's the time). If someone wants to help,
you're welcome...

Otherwise it'll be fixed in the 2.1 branch.

Gr�gards,
