>From a distributor point of view not having OO.o behave as a one-of-a-kind for
text rendering would be a huge boon. Please adopt the same text layout and
rendering stack as other FLOSS applications (that is to say fontconfig +
freetype +pango/harfbuzz + cairo on the Linux side).

I suppose there would be a lot of commonalities with Firefox, so working with
them on a common set of solutions would be great.
