Ok, folks. I have some good news.

Mr. Firefly has filled and signed the JCA agreement and faxing it back to Sun,
under the Printed Name "Deng Jia Min". I think the folks at Sun can verify his
identity thru the e-mail address, which was used in the comment in his patch
uploaded here. 

As a result, may I suggest, after his JCA is verified, that a target milestone
version is set for merging this patch - providing most technical issue is
solved? This is a must-have usability feature for most CJK users, and will
benefit English and other users for handling regular-only font as well.

Is this an environment variable set in the GUI menu of OpenOffice.org, or just
in the command line? Or is this a compile option?

I am not sure, but can the patch be modified to check for the value of
SAL_AUTOHINTING_PRIORITY first before forcing Autohint on the targetted font
(and targetted font only) ?

Since the Gamma enhancement previously discussed would alleviate some of the
unpleasant effect of Autohint, I am inclined to use this option because of the
result seen in the CJK font involved, such as this screenshot mentioned by
swyear earlier:

Let us keep each patch separate and file a bug report of its own.

I have read some of the description and it looks like some of the new patches
are too CJK-centric (for example, putting CJK font name before English in the
font selection menu) and might not fit the generic interest of all
OpenOffice.org user base. 

However, it's fortunate that many of these new patches are very small ones, and
filing new bugs for each of them and seeking review should be easy. The small
patches would make it easy to read and understand. If I have time I'll get the
comment translated to English before trying to get them uploaded with new bug
reports on what they are trying to address, so more on this later. 

But first, we'll want to get this fake style bug fixed because this is simply
one of the biggest letdown which CJK OOo Linux users would want to see fixed as
soon as possible. I can't wait to recommend my friends to try out StarOffice or
OpenOffice.org on Linux once this (visually noticeable) problem is resolved.

(On a side note, Mozilla Firefox 1.5 has managed to address CJK printing thru
CUPS support, so I begin to believe desktop Linux can expect some uptake in Asia
-- that is, if this bug will also be fixed in the near future :) ).
