Basic Fonts. I would suggest installing the high quality fonts you want
first. Then go to the place I mentioned. Change the settings to the fonts you
want to use.
You can also manage your fonts by using styles. Each style has a Font tab
where you can select the one you want to use with that style. In the
documentation section of the OOo web site, there are manuals explaining how
to use styles. In the German Section of this web site, there should be at
least some of these manuals in German if you prefer.
