This is not a bug. Not in LibreOffice, at least. Calibri looks pixellated in Ubuntu because its rendering engine, freetype, takes the embedded bitmaps present in Calibri as preferred to display it on screen. Microsoft added those bitmaps to their C* Vista fonts so they look readable with their horrible font rendering engine, ClearType.
