I have created a personal patch to solve the problem at the time of OOo  
1.1.2 using Osaka font.

My change for OOo installer is as follows (This is the same patch sent  
to Eric a few days ago).

1. Put fondu to /Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.5/program/ in order to  
extract Mac OS X's fonts with post install script.
    Note that binary version of fondu (040925) has a bug, so need to use  
the one from source (041222).

2. Apply patch to  
/Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.5/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/ 
VCL.xcu to use Osaka font for ja-jp.

3. Apply patch to custom.css in  
/Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.5/help/ja

4. Apply patch for  
/Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.5/OOo_Admin.app/Contents/Resources/ 
Scripts/main.scpt to extract Mac OS X fonts using fondu into   
/Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.5/share/fonts/truetype.

I just added the issue #54535.  This should solve the installer's  
Mojibake, and enable to use relatively high quality font for Japanese  
editing.
