[PRQ#41974] Deletion Request for openoffice-uglyfix-freetype2
toropisco [1] filed a deletion request for openoffice-uglyfix- freetype2 [2]: I suggest that if [PRQ#41966] Deletion Request for libreoffice- uglyfix-freetype2 is approved, this package be removed for the same reasons. As he original request states: MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libreoffice-uglyfix- freetype2 [2]: This workaround solution to change the behavior of freetype2 library's font hinting for LibreOffice suite has been created in 2013 and has not been updated since 2021. Arch [extra] carries the latest freetype2, v2.13, whereas this package is at v2.11. The last comment is from 2020 and says this package makes LibreOffice 7+ crash. If there is a bug in LibreOffice font hinting which makes fonts ugly, or if there is a feature request to change LibreOffice font rendering, it should be either addressed in Arch bug report or upstream in LibreOffice project. I recommend deletion of this package which seems to be not actively used and maintained anymore.
