There's only one visible change: the application fonts (those in the menues and the status bar) have become lousy. It seems OO now uses the kochi-mincho fonts for the application
If the user did not specify which font to use for the user interface, OpenOffice automatically selects a font. Which one is selected depends on which fonts are installed. OpenOffice seems to prefer TrueType fonts. After installing kochi-mincho.ttf, this font apparently happened to be selected automatically for the user interface.
and I cannot make it pick another one by the standard X command line option -fn. How can it be set?
It works differently in OpenOffice and involves a bit of black magic:
From the OpenOffice menu select
Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Font Replacement
Check the check-box "Apply replacement table", and write
"Andale Sans UI"
into the list-box entry field below. "Andale Sans UI" *must* be typed,
you cannot select it from the list. Select your favorite font for the
user interface in the list box to the right, labeled "Replace with".
Apply your changes.
Now it should look like

I used "Chancery L" as an example her for the user interface, this is
ugly of course but "Chancery L" makes it very obvious that changing
the user interface font was successful :-).
