fonts confusion, openoffice/linux and Xorg

I have great problems with my default Xorg fonts config.

I have this in Xorg:

        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/"
        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/"
        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled/"
        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled/"
        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
        FontPath     "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"

When I use this, openoffice is utterly horrible, with many mis-placed
glyphs, unreadable text. xpdf renders are also very nasty.

If I re-define my Xorg fontlist to *only* misc and TTF, remove
the .fonts.cache-1 file, and re-start X11, then, when I run openoffice,
it re-calculates a /fonts.cache and its fine. But, this is a very
restrictive fontset, I would prefer to be able to use the traditional
X11 font files as well.

I have a full complement of /emul/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and I
wonder if there is a confusion between true Xorg fonts, and
in-openoffice linux emulated/mapped fonts, and their interactions.

Any advice welcome!

cheers
