I think there is an issue with OOo and freetype 2.2.x in
testing/unstable. I compiled freetype 2.1.10, copied the libraries
to /usr/local/lib/freetype-2.1.10, and put the following line
in /usr/bin/oowrapper:
$ENV{LD_PRELOAD} =
'/usr/local/lib/freetype-2.1.10/libfreetype.so.6';
Drastic measures, I know! The result is quite pleasing though:
