It has its own settings, but there's something odd going on. Try Tools | Options, then OpenOffice.org | View in the window and then the 'Screen font antialiasing' checkbox and 'from ... pixels' spin box. Now, in XftConfig, I have no constraints on antialiasing. However, if I create a document [attached] with 4 lines of text (one 10-point, one 12-point, one 14-point, one 24-point, all in Nimbus Sans L) then set: OOo anti-aliasing from 8 points - user interface font anti-aliased, all four text samples anti-aliased [correct]; OOo anti-aliasing from 11 points - user interface font anti-aliased, all four text samples anti-aliased [I'd expect the 10-point to not be anti-aliased]; OOo anti-aliasing from 14 points - user interface font no anti-aliasing [!], 10-point no anti-aliasing, 12, 14 and 24-point anti-aliased [I'd expect the 12-point to not be anti-aliased as well]. OOo anti-aliasing from 17 points - user interface font no anti-aliasing, 10 and 12-point no anti-aliasing, 14 and 24-point anti-aliased [I'd expect the 14-point to not be anti-aliased as well]. That the UI font anti-aliasing changes is bizarre, but probably an OOo design feature which can't (easily) be changed at short notice. However, the anti-aliasing errors are worth looking at. (That said, the OOo dialog box says 'from ... pixels', not 'from ... points'; perhaps there is confusion of units there?) > Other than that, OpenOffice.org works awesome, Dutch spelling check and > i18n included!
