Check to see if the instructions in a previous email to this
mailing list will help:

Hi all,
obviously Apple released a X11 update with corrupt "Vera" Fonts.
It is reported, that the FontBook application recognize the font as
"...Dont use this fonts"
But there is a discussion of a workaround:
Bug is reported on OO.org: 71096
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71096
and the workaround is discussed on the trinity.neooffice.org - list
http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?
name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3414
The suggested workaround:
Open the terminal application and type:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.bad
<return>
enter your password
<return>
sudo mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
fonts/TTF.bad
<return>
the code will create a new folder "TTF.bad" and will copy all "Vera"
fonts to this folder. This must be done with administrator "root"
rights (sudo)
Hope this helps.
thanks to Pavel and Patrick
Christopher
