Hi John, As a professor of linguistics I thought I'd answer this one. First, thanks for mentioning junicode. I had never heard of it and it's really cool.
I'm running a Debian Lenny/Sid box with OOo 2.3 installed. I downloaded junicode 0.6.15 and used the KDE font installer to set it up. Specifically I tried out the รค (lc a-umlaut) and there was no problem with setting it to italics. It came out looking the way it should. If you want me to test any other aspects of the font in OOo I'd be happy to oblige. I don't think this is an openoffice issue. Maybe there's a problem in your installation.
