Screenshot of font rendering in Writer

Since upgrading to the new LibreOffice (4.3.5.2) yesterday on my Macbook Pro with Retina display, I've noticed that the text in LibreOffice looks fuzzy and low-res. I'm using the Yosemite version of Mac OS X. I will attach screenshots comparing the same text rendered on LibreOffice and MS Word. The problem applies to text in Writer or Calc as well as text rendered in dialogue boxes and other components.

Does this persist with LO 4.4RC2: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ ?

Also make sure you’ve installed a native 64-bit build. (And, since 4.4, all OS X builds are 64-bit). See bug 80939 comment 3.

Yes the new RC resolves the issue. And this does appear to be a duplicate of the other bug as suggested. Thank you.
