If the cause lurks in what you did long ago,
clean-reinstalling Tiger may be the simplest way to fix it....?

If you have screenshots which describe the symptom, please show me.

I can't tell what is happening for now, but _vaguely_ guess that
it may be a problem of font conversion and/or of locale.

Which language pack(s) are installed on your machine?
Please give me what following commands return:
* fink list -i openoffice.org
* defaults read -g AppleLocale
* defaults read -g AppleLanguages
* ls /sw/lib/openoffice.org/share/fonts/truetype/
..and compare the cases of "machine on which it works fine"
and "looks terrible".

I don't know these are good hints for you, but:
* OpenOffice.org tries to detect the locale by AppleLocale.
* On openoffice.org's post-install, fink (dpkg, to be precise)
  performs to convert fonts installed in /Library/Fonts and
  /System/Library/Fonts, to the usable format for OpenOffice.org.

hope it helps,
