Hello Rene, I think I found the reason why the bytecode interpreter is not used, see here: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=17880
Now, there are two ways to resolve this bug: 1.) Quick'n dirty. Simply replace FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT in vcl/source/glyphs/gcach_ftyp.cxx by FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL or FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD or FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V (if recompiling wouldn't take >8h on Opteron 242, it would be easy to test which gives best results). 2.) Take the latest patch from http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=64508 and adjust it, so that it applies to openoffice-2.0.4. From the point of the user wishes and user config probably the best, but its clearly not a simple replace patch and might be buggy. Which one do you prefer? Cheers, Bernd
