That test isn't reliable. Arial and Helvetica are obviously identical here, but the fonts are most assuredly antialiased, as magnifying them reveals. I might have set up an alias within OO.o itself, come to think of it. I have a consistent problem with Helvetica. It wants to be a bitmapped screen font, and it can't be antialiased. The best remedy is to steer well away from Helvetica and use something else. I wish I could tell you exactly how I got here. The truth is I got here by wildly flailing around trying stupid things. If you run KDE, the new font installer stuff is helpful. Beyond that, I don't really have a clue. Whenever I try to understand how fonts work in X, I just wind up very angry and frustrated.
