Perhaps you could tell us then!  From what I gather the standard OOo
comes with the un-patented freetype as part of the source code, one
reason the fonts don't look so good under Linux.  With the bytecode
interpreter turned on, true-type fonts look far better.

So is it a matter of issuing one command from the command line to
rebuild the source, using the system freetype, for Athlon or Pentium? 
If so, what is it? ;-)

rpmbuild --rebuild .....

Thanks,
Damon
