Description of problem: After recent yum updates, OpenOffice.org stopped displaying Gnome system fonts properly. Rather than being crisp and clear, they appear blurry and distorted (see attached screen capture). I'm getting the same display error on both my FC5 laptop and desktop install! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.2-5.9.2 How reproducible: This seems to be occuring with the latest updates of openoffice RPMs. Actual results: See attached screen capture. Expected results: Gnome system fonts (Bitstream Vera Sans) should appear crisp as in other applications. Additional info: See this forum for another user experiencing similar problems: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=109517&highlight=openoffice

yeah, there's a glitch in the use of the fontconfig hinting value
