Missed the original post but it sounds similar to what I had run into awhile back.
Sorry I don't remember what I did exactly but the problem was basically with the fonts, not OO in particular. Now I don't remember exactly but re-emerging the font packages (freetype specifically and possibly fontconfig) had something to do with it. Possibly the re-emerge needed to be followed by a re-emerge of OO. Sorry I don't remember the details but I do remember that was the basic gist of the issue.
