Just to say thanks, Chris, for persevering. It took me a while to understand that OOo is ok and that the fontconfig module(not an OOo module) is where the bug lies.

It really is an eyesore though and the casual user will automatically assume that OOo is at fault. The sooner this bug is well and truly squashed the better. I look forward to it being cleared in 9.04.

I have noticed some changes over the past year. The problem seems to be now confined to certain fonts, e.g. Times New Roman and Verdana. Other fonts are ok, e.g. UnDotum, are ok.
