Locate finds the openoffice fonts here: /usr/lib/openoffice/share/psprint/fontmetric That dir is dated 12/29, when I updated but the file /usr/lib/openoffice/share/psprint/pspfontcache is dated 12/31, when I first got a chance to do some work with the editor. I didn't run spadmin so OO must have gone out and updated the fonts. You might also checl /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf.
