Sorry for the confusion, guys. I have been quite heavily using OOo and MS Word 2003 in parallel for a few weeks now (for several reasons). I could have sworn that the fonts look nicer in Word. When I was trying to prove it doing some snapshots, I found they practically look the same (see screenshot)! Now I am puzzled why that is. I actually am shocked facing the possibility that I may be positively biased for MS product... One difference may be that on my current settings, I have the minimal size for the AA in OOo to "1", whereas the AA seems to be switched off in my wine/MS Word settings for the smaller fonts. That may have caused my impression. Similarly, in my snapshot, the menus in Word are not AA'ed at all, whereas OOo does its not-so-perfect AA. I actually prefer no AA at all in that case! --hasi.
