I recently modified the cairo text rendering (in VCL) to use cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_pattern instead of cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face which means that LibreOffice gets the same lcdfilter/coloured subpixeling out of the box that other fontconfig+cairo using apps get when the fontconfig settings for this are enabled. My understanding is that there may be a hack in Ubuntu's gnome-settings-daemon to force pre-fix LibreOffice to do this in unnatural way, so when 3.4 lands that can be removed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680460 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/271283 Picture at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=485773
