Is this a known issue? Is there an easy solution?
It's the source of many situational document incompatibilities
(although I need to double-check if the problem exists for StarOffice
output).
I am presently about to log a lot of issues and this will be among
them; however I have been guessing that it is one where Styles and
XML are driving a deliberate difference from MOffice that we are not
likely to be successful in matching up with ,doc output. We'll see.
On a positive note, this issue does not exist when collaborators are
using the same software and originating documents with that package.
It is the kind of problem which may even exist in some future time
when there are many different implementations of OpenDocument by
various applications.

Actually, Sam, look at the OP post again. The document was created in
OOo on Windows and then opened in OOo on Linux. I suspect that the
problem may be font related, but that's only a guess. Times and Times
New Roman aren't really the same font... close, but not identical.
Another source of the problem could be if the two installations are
using default templates that are set up differently. A document can
inherit Style characteristics from the parent template if I understand
correctly.
Y're correct on both points. If it's font substitution across different
builds, Then that is telling about the future.
