I'm really not 100% sure myself what "System font" actually means. I know for me (Gnome on Fedora 5) that both Gnome and OOo depend on settings from fontconfig, which is at least desktop-agnostic. But I don't know in detail what OOo is looking at.
If Debian includes fontconfig with X, you could try looking at the settings under /etc/fonts, or in ~/.fonts.conf.
Ok, if I start OOo (2.1) from a bare X session (just an xterm & twm), it seems to use some backup font that is not scalable and the "System font" setting has no effect.
The OOo install includes only the "Vera" font family and the OpenSymbol fonts, so I guess OOo is just punting and using some non-scalable X bitmap font, rather than using the fontconfig settings or the installed TTFs.
I still don't understand where it's getting the font/size setting you're seeing, but it seems there is no simple way to specify what font OOo uses for the UI.
