Heh,

pixel perfect is something that has nothing to do with ODF. Having the exact 
same version of the same software on 2 different machines can already make 
this fail. (and it does even on Microsoft Windows).

What is interresting to note here is that all big free software creators have 
come together and are building a low level text-layout engine so all (free) 
software will share that to make sure that having hebrew text in firefox and 
in KWord will look exactly the same. Hopefully the openoffice guys will pick 
this up as now Qt and GTK (pango) are the only main people working on this.

Having this goes a long way to making sure simple things like lineendings 
start to work;
see http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2262 for some research of myself in that 
direction.

Have fun :)
