I was not aware of Leigh's advice until I saw your response here. So....
I found and followed his advice, and, I still see issues.
Note that I do still see the driver, however
>rpm -qa | grep -i nouveau
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-27.20110720gitb806e3f.fc16.x86_64
Then again, I also see all sorts of kmod stuff
>rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.1.x86_64
nvidia-settings-1.0-13.fc16.x86_64
akmod-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.1.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64
nvidia-xconfig-1.0-11.fc16.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64-290.06-1.fc16.2.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64-290.06-1.fc16.3.x86_64

If you're running "kmod" nvidia drivers then you are not running nouveau.
Nouveau runs out-of-the-box (fresh installation) and has proven to be more headache-free.
I have not noticed this issue. Could this be peculiar to a file? Can you describe steps
to replicate it without transferring a sample file?
I am presently running nouveau with LO without issues on F16 but I probably haven't gone your
route. My experience with "kmod-nvidia" and the sister "akmod-nvidia" is that
they conflict with nouveau especially if nouveau is not silenced. Did U follow leigh's instructions
at forums.fedoraforum.org?

Hello,
For some time I've found that libreoffice (and openoffice before it)
had
trouble rendering text with the Linux open 'nouveau' (as opposed to the
proprietary NVIDIA) driver. What appears to happen is that everything
above a certain point is good, but below it the text simply doesn't
appear. I've not seen any other application that has the same problem.
I've attached a typical screenshot to demonstrate the effect.
It always helps if you: 1) tell others what version of LO you are having
issues with (and also if it is from LO or some other source; linux
distribution repository or PPA, etc), 2) what OS type and version
(there are about thousands of versions of linux). My /guess/ is that you
are running some form of Ubuntu, if correct please tell us which version
you are running.
Cannot comment on this poster, but, I have seen a very similar issue
on both OOo and LO. I see this on Linux, not on Windows. I had the
problem with Fedora 15 and also Fedora 16. Both are 64-bit versions. I
use the KMod drivers for NVidia installed from the repositories. I see
the issues with other applications as well, but the primary offenders
are OOo and QT.
Using Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 base and derivatives (Pinguy and Mint),
both 64 bit, I have not seen this behavior. AFAIK the drivers were/are
ATI Radeon from the repository. The actual drivers were auto-installed
on installation and left unchanged. The desktops include both Gnome 2.?
and Gnome 3.2. It appears that the problem is limited to the NVidia drivers.
