I have found the way to change the size of the UI font in Windows system.

I found a better way: Open the system's display dialog by clicking
        Start->ControlCenter->Display->Appearance
and change the FontSize there.

If you are interested in changing only specific UI elements then open the advanced dialog by clicking
        Start->ControlCenter->Display->Appearance->Advanced
click on the UI element you want to change and change it.

It's a pretty awkward way to access the feature. actually, the common users
who aren't interested in coding have no way to set the suitable size or
style of the UI font at all. So my suggestion is to have a consistent
users-accessible way to do that through UI whether in Linux or Windows
platform. The most appropriate slot for this feature is the *Option dialog.

No, see above. The most appropriate way is to use the systems dialog.

*In addition, a specification to detail the mechanism of font fallback and
font substitution would be highly appreciated, because it's very important
to add a new item to the OpenOffice.org language supporting list.*

The fallback mechanism on windows can be summarized as:
find the entry for the missing font in the VCL.xcu file and check the suggested substitutions. The first match wins.

Also see Javier Sola's excellent page at http://www.khmeros.info/tools/localization_of_openoffice_2.0.html#FontFallback

The fallback mechanism on unix is differnt if "fontconfig" is available on the system, else it is the same as described above. The result of
        fc-match "Name of missing font"
is used as the fallback font.
