Hi

Nice work!

I'm not sure how LO's current glyph bitmap caching works, but you might run into some visual artifacts with anti-aliasing.

Some programs cache the rendering of glyphs, especially when doing anti-aliasing, because it is quite expensive to do 
the computation.

However, this can lead to some odd pixel effects when you change the background color, because doing anti-aliasing 
properly is dependent on both the color of the glyph and the color of the background.

Hopefully LO doesn't have this problem, but just in case, I thought you should know.
