I can confirm this on up to date edgy at least if i start OO under KDE even with running gnome-settings-daemon.
In addition to this fonts in OO look very ugly, like dpi is detected wrong. I use 96 dpi setting in xorg.conf, kde and gnome and mostly Arial. It works nice everywere except in OO. I can set OO to use system fonts or not, both look very ugly. I will write a second report for this using subject OpenOffice font rendering bad -- assertion failure on start-up https://launchpad.net/bugs/65926 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
