[Bug 568492] Re: Fonts corrupted on Openoffice menus and Lotus Notes 8.5 with nvidia, compiz, twinview and subpixel smoothing.

 

Hello all! Cannot say if my solution is in any ways the right one for anybody else. Yet it solved my problems on Ubuntu Lucid with OOo 3.2 and Compiz using NVidia 195.36.24 drivers. Although I could successfully work around the problem by disabling sub-pixel hinting in the 'appearance' menu. However, that made the desktop look rather ugly.
Acitivating the option "Force Full GPU Scaling" (and "Stretched" for 'GPU Scaling Method)  under 'GPU 0 (GeForce Go 7300) > DFP 0' in the 'NVidia X Server Settings' tool (from the system menu) makes the OOo menus appear perfectly fine even with activated sup-pixel hinting.
HTH!
