My build works again now...and doesn't include the infinality patches...I don't see the point in doing that...

Really, why do these exist? My pkgbuild - the original - always puts the .so files in the correct directory, no matter which version or fork of openoffice you run.

Now openoffice was changed to libreoffice, now fonts looks ugly.

Fixed for now but the package won't work with openoffice now because of the dependency change. Have to find a way to make the package more dynamical.

Seems like the dependency for libreoffice has changed to go-openoffice in the latest update today.

---------------------------------

---------------------------------
What my cause the problem? I'm using LibreOffice.

Great hack dude! Are you bringing this to LibreOffice as well?

Btw, for the improved rendering to apply I had to create an .Xresources or .Xdefaults file (not sure which, since I created both at the same time :-p ) with the following settings:

Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.rgba: rgb

Updated version of the openoffice-uglyfix-freetype2 package but this one uses the infinality patch instead.
