I doubt there'd be much demand: antialiasing is already working perfectly in
OO 1.0.1 under SuSE 8.0.

Subject: [SLE] OpenOffice with freetype bytecode interpreter?
| Hi:
|
| Suse 7.3
|
| I have learned that OpenOffice 1.0 and 1.0.1 have integrated the
| freetype library into OO, and of course the bytecode interpreter is
| turned off. Hence, TT fonts render poorly. It seems Mandrake has
| created a patch to fix this, but I'm wondering if any similar effort has
| been done on Suse. I am using the OO downloaded from openoffice.org,
| BTW, not a package from Suse.
|
| I am *not* interested in antialiasing fonts, but rather using the
| bytecode interpreter which causes the fonts to not have the choppy look.
| I use LCD monitors and don't like antialiasing anyway. But I want the
| fonts to look right.
|
| I am in the process of downloading the OO source package, and I would be
| willing to build it and apply the mods needed to get a bytecode enabled
| freetype compiled into it, with some help. With enough help, it is
| possible that I could make an .rpm and find a place to stick it for
| everyone to use (like maybe suse.com?)
|
| Thanks for comments.
