So ... now to answer the correct question in the correct thread...
There are a couple possibilities here...
1) OOo is using server fonts rather than client fonts. You can check this by removing the requested font from the server (/usr/X11/share/fonts or /opt/X11/share/fonts), restarting X11, and checking if it has disappeared from OOo.
2) OOo is using client side fonts via libXft. If this is a case, then it's likely a rendering issue in the X11 server. See if you can reproduce it using something simpler, like 'pango-view --font=Arial some.txt' ... you can get pango from MacPorts.
