My problem is that OOO doesn't seem to recognise all the fonts I have.
Only a few fonts are shown.

I just did a test, in Terminal I can type Japanese (though extreemly
ugly) using the bistream vera serif that is in OOO.

So basically, OOO doesn't like Japanese and they come up as squares
even though I am using a font that has Japanese support.

I guess it isn't a font problem then.
