perhaps bug 163147 is related. caolanm->davidz: our OOo uses font-config to find font substitutions, OOo can only use outline fonts so I make a subset of the available fonts and create a config of outline only. Then with the above font installed the sample code attached gives the new font as it's best substitution. Can you have a look and see if there's a solution ?
caolanm->twaugh: is this still the case with 1.9.122-3 ?
I installed this package on FC4: openoffice.org-core-1.9.122-4.2.0.fc5 and that seems to fix the problem, yes.
alternative fontconfig stuff seems to avoid this problem them. Fixed rawhide, and we'll push a fc4 update in the next week or two.
