Can't confirm (no fonts or Gentoo, so I may be completely off-mark) but I can
say that although the fonts on the two screenshots appear different, the
relative spacing is identical, so visual differences in glyph outlines appear to
be the result of rendering/hinting (the oowriter-2.4.1 version is properly
hinted, either either grayscale or whatever the Gentoo equivalent to ClearType
is, whilst the 3.0 version isn't).

My guess is something up with Freetype 2.3.6.
