Hi There,
For your font rendering problem. I don't now what the Mandrake 9.0 stance is for xft2, fontconfig, and freetype. If these are installed, try some of the xft2 fonts in OpenOffice. Just as an example, take a look at this Redhat 8.0 screenshot for OpenOffice.

This is what can happen if they take some time to look at OpenOffice.

Use spadmin to add/delete fonts. Use Options to choose the default
fonts for text documents, and font substitution if required. BTW, font
handling is much better in the latest verison - it will detect resident
fonts automatically.
