I recommend to install the free Japanese Kochi TrueType fonts:

Well, I have tried them, but I can see no difference whatsoever. They appear the same and print the same, so I'm actually not quite sure that, when I select Gothic or Mincho from the pull-down font menu, OO takes the new kochi fonts and not the old watanabe/wadalab ones.
Also, the latin characters still behave the same way: not displayed (only blank space) but printed correctly.
Yes, this looks like OpenOffice still uses wadalab-gothic and not kochi-gothic. This happens when the xtt-fonts.rpm is installed.
[...] how can I ensure that by Gothic/Mincho OO means the new kochi fonts?
I don't know how to force OpenOffice to prefer kochi-mincho and
kochi-gothic over watanabe-mincho and wadalab-gothic.
But why not just delete xtt-fonts.rpm?:
rpm -e xtt-fonts.rpm
I see no advantage whatsoever in wadalab-gothic and watanabe-mincho
over kochi-gothic and kochi-mincho.
The Kochi fonts are more beautiful, have a Unicode character map, have
glyphs for vertical printing, and have embedded bitmaps for sizes
between 10 and 20 pixel.
The xtt-fonts are ugly and buggy. Just delete them.
