OpenOffice Font problem

[Joe Villari]

I compiled the OpenOffice source files from their website and do not 
have any problems with fonts like you described. I have even added some 
of my Mac fonts and they have worked too.

You might want to try compile the source instead of using YDL rpms.

I do have the same sounding problem with Scribus. But when I print the 
document everything works fine.
