While in Debian Etch at least antialiasing is somewhat working in OpenOffice, which makes fonts not a complete pain in the eyes (but it's very close to - damn unsharp), not even antialiasing seems to work for OpenOffice in Edgy (completely up-to-date).
Btw, I'm running OpenOffice under KDE in both Edgy and Etch.
I can confirm that font rendering for OpenOffice in Edgy is completely ugly. This seems to be an inherited bug from Debian, see
