James,
Thanks very much for your support: removing
the Vera TTF fonts immediately resolved the problem.

First, this is an X11 font problem which Apple has acknowledged and
will
fix soon, we hope.
Second, I have copied the text from a previous message which links
to the
Issue which OpenOffice.org is using to track this problem and a
link to the
forums at Trinity.NeoOffice.org which describes a very good
workaround.
Sorry that X11 caused this problem for you. Please be aware that
new Mac OS X builds will not have this problem (that is 2.1 or
higher) as they will disable the usage of X11 font files.
Copied message text:

Hi all,
obviously Apple released a X11 update with corrupt "Vera" Fonts.
It is reported, that the FontBook application recognize the font as
"...Dont use this fonts"
But there is a discussion of a workaround:
Bug is reported on OO.org: 71096
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71096
and the workaround is discussed on the trinity.neooffice.org - list
http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?
name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3414
[Workaround text included so you don't have to visit the web site
above
to find it]
The suggested workaround:
Open the terminal application and type:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.bad
<return>
enter your password
<return>
sudo mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
fonts/TTF.bad
<return>
the code will create a new folder "TTF.bad" and will copy all "Vera"
fonts to this folder. This must be done as a user with [corrected
by me] administrator
rights (sudo)
Hope this helps.
thanks to Pavel and Patrick
Christopher
