From the README file in the ~/OpenOffice.org1.0 directory:

Changing the User Interface Font

In OpenOffice.org you can change the font used for screen display and
printing by replacing it with a different font installed on your system.
This can be done using the font replacement function. Choose Tools -
Options - OpenOffice.org - Font Replacement to access this function.
To change the font of the OpenOffice.org user interface, you have to
replace the default font "Andale Sans UI" with another font and mark the
"always" setting for this replacement.
Refer to the OpenOffice.org Help for a detailed explanation of the dialog.
