Here's the announcement Ranger posted on pclinuxonline: http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2139 "... I have compiled OpenOffice.org-1.0-2mdk from cooker on 8.2. This release has changed so that OpenOffice.org uses the system freetype2 rather than it's own copy. See below what the difference is .... The difference is that if you install a bytecode-interpreter-enabled freetype2, that you can get OpenOffice.org to look something like this, as opposed to what it looks like if you use the build from OpenOffice.org. ..." You'll find a link to the bytecode-interpreter-enabled freetype2 hosted by the penguin liberation front in the actual announcement. Beware of the legal restrictions of its use, though. Narfi.
