I have installed the extra fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont and 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont.

They work properly in KDE and Programs liek the Gimp.

I run a standard Mandrake 8.0 configuration, with KDE as the only windows 
manager installed.

Richard, try removing the following file inside the OO install directory:

OpenOffice.org1.0/share/psprint/pspfontcache

Comment 5 prgmgr 2002-07-12 06:20:17 UTC 
This is a reproduceable scenario from 6017:

I install OpenOffice 1.0 on RH 7.0.  I create a new text document
using the Charter font, and save the document.  I then quit
OpenOffice, restart it, and open the document.  The text is
no longer displayed in the Charter font, and in OpenOffice's
font selector, "Charter" no longer displays in the Charter font.
Some other font (which looks like a very simple default font)
is used instead.

Once again removing the pspfontcache file fixes the issue temporarily.

Lots of instructions in issue 4366.

I think the workaround in 4366 should solve the issue.
