It looks fine on this system - 10.2 x86-64, OOo 2.0.4, Acroread 7.0.8 Everything you've described screams broken font metrics at me. There's most likely a file with character widths etc that tells whatever library ooo uses to create pdfs how much space to add. And yours has errors for some reason. Sadly, I find fonts on Linux to be fiendishly complicated and specifically I've decided I don't have the patience or tuits to figure out how they work. Especially as it keeps changing. So all I can suggest is to double-check the installation sources, use whatever tools you have (xfontsel, maybe?) to double-check exactly what works and what doesn't (what registry is the font you're having problems with and what encoding? or maybe ooo uses some different mechanism!?), And google for 'broken font metrics' or 'arial problem ooo' or the like on the ooo site and elsewhere.
