I just updated OpenOffice to 2.4 and the UI fonts turned ugly. If anyone has the same problem, here is how I solved it. You need to update the file:
Code:
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu


It is read only, so you need to allow writing to edit it. You are looking for the section that starts with the tag
Code:
<prop oor:name="UI_SANS" ...>


In the value below, just insert your prefered UI font at the head of the list. Mine now reads
Code:
<value>Verdana;Andale Sans UI;Arial Unicode MS;Lucida Sans Unicode;...
so I get Verdana as my UI font.

For those that need it, the file has moved in openoffice 3.0 to:

/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu

The fix still works.
