When you see boxes it means that scim can't find the fonts. OpenOffice doesn't usually see all the system fonts, you have to add them, either manually or with spadadmin. I haven't played with OO in Arch for a bit and won't get a chance today, but in FreeBSD, openoffice fonts will be kept in /usr/local/openoffice-<version>/share/fonts/truetype The spadmin program will do it for you (but you have to know the location of the fonts). You can either symlink them or copy it over. If none of the system fonts are work for you, you can get the kochi-substitute fonts from sourceforge. I'm trying to get ready for work, but if you go to my page http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html there's a link somewhere around the middle of the article, telling you where to go for the fonts.
