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:
http://www.pci.uni-heidelberg.de/tc/usr/bernd/downloads/freetype/OpenOffice_fix_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
