LibreOffice looks terrible compared to the rest of my OS and other text applications, such as MS Word. It looks like it has no anti-aliasing, how can I activate it?

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 if that helps.

If the reason for bad looking fonts is disabled anti-aliasing, then there are few things you could try:

  1. In LibreOffice: Go to Tools in the top menu -> then Options. In the left treeview go to LibreOffice -> View (4th from top). Here are some settings for LibreOffice (like "use Anti-Aliasing").
  2. If your whole system lacks of Anti-Aliasing (what I don't think according to your question) you can install the Tweak-Tool. Open it, go to fonts and choose your way of Anti-Aliasing and font-optimization.

Just give it a try!

If you are using ttf fonts instead and nothing helps see this answer for further help.
