Gert: Sorry, I do not know how everything is connected here. Does "upstream StarOffice 8" automatically mean it is going to be included into OOo at some point? Or are there even any public developer builds that already have this very cool feature? I am really hungry to get it! Thanks so much.

To get an idea how upstream version does look like in the current state, I've attached a screenshot showing staroffice-writer using system- libfreetype in gutsy. If you compare this to gutsy ooo, you have to agree that openoffice.org-scribblers team has done a lot of work to include patches that ar

In short: I don't think so, at least not until you are providing the required patches :-). The same applies to distribution-specific patches, I don't think the ubuntu openoffice-scribblers-team has enough resources to fix it on their own. For Gutsy there is rather no chance at all, sad but true. -

I notice the same problem with Kubuntu 7.04 (using libfreetype6/libcairo2/libxft2 packages) and OpenOffice 2.2: the fonts in almost all applications look perfect to me. However, in OOo, the font smoothing is of substantially lower quality. I can confirm that there is some font smoothing in OOo

No, it does not. In Ubuntu ooo is using system-libfreetype (upstream is able to do so, too, but at least it had troubles with freetype >=2.2). It is rather related to the fact that upstream-ooo is ignoring fontconfig-rendering-settings, e.g. if your system-libfreetype has enabled bytecode-interpre
