This problem is to do with openoffice's printer font replacement. To fix it, run oopadmin, click on the properties buttin for your printer, and make sure you have "enable font replacement" turned on, and there should be about 8 replacements including "Arial -> Helvetica" and "Times New Roman -> Times". If you turn this off, your pdfs will be very poor quality under anything but ghostscript viewers (gv, ggv, kghostview etc).
