Yes the backport was rejected. I found OOo 2.1 in the .deb format here: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/misc/openoffice/localized/finnish/stable/2.1.0/latest/OOo_2.1 .0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
This installed perfectly in my Edgy, giving me the fix to the fonts issue (turn off antialiasing inside OOo), as well as OOo's Quickstarter application (running up by the clock) which speeds the launch of the OOo apps. I am using this till Feisty is out and stable. ----Original Message Follows---- From: RichardNeill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Bug 54776 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Bug 54776] Re: [Edgy] font hinting does not work with libfreetype6v. 2.2.1 Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 02:15:36 -0000 I already made a request for a backport to Edgy, but unfortunately, it's been refused: https://launchpad.net/bugs/78981 *Please* can we have a bugfix for this - it really doesn't give a very good impression of Ubuntu if such things aren't fixed. Speaking personally, I installed Edgy for 3 different friends; they are all about to go back to WinXP because of this issue: the single major tool that they use on a computer is profoundly unpleasant to work with. -- [Edgy] font hinting does not work with libfreetype6 v. 2.2.1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54776 -- [Edgy] font hinting does not work with libfreetype6 v. 2.2.1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54776 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
