This is exactly the problem, bug #54776 is dealing with. OOo does not respect fontconfig-hinting-settings (fontconfig trouble was reported in bug #24004, partly OOo is using fontconfig for now). When using freetype 2.1.x it is always using bytecode-interpreter (see bug #22897), with freetype 2.2.x it is always using autohinter for hinting. It seems like there is additional a problem with cairo. Upstream is aware of this, see issues 59127 (cairo stuff) and 64508 (fontconfig-hinting).
