It works fine for me in OOo 3.0.1. I just tried it. The behavior you describe is commonly observed in many applications when you send someone a document in which you use a font not available on the other person's computer. The other person's system substitutes an available default font. On Windows machines, that would usually be Arial if the original font was a non-serif font. Could that be your problem?
