Install Verdana font 2. Create a Calc document using Verdana 11 3. Create a Writer document using Verdana 11 Actual Results: Font rendering in Writer is totally ugly as opposed to Calc which does perfectly.

I can't confirm with Version: 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9f56dff12ba03b9acd7730a5a481eea045e468f3 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded Mdcclxv, could you please retest with LO 7.5 and give feedback? Thank you. => NEEDINFO
I went to Tools - Options - View and unchecked both "Use anti-aliasing" and "Screen font antialiasing", but I can't get the text to look like in your screenshots. Can you help me find the correct option?
I realised that I need to go to System settings - Appearance - Fonts in KDE and deactivate anti-aliasing there. After that, I could see Writer renders Verdana worse than Calc.
