It's a good idea to post the output if 'dpkg -l openoffice.org\*'. I
can't tell what packages you have installed, and it is often very
helpful for us to know.
0x4259e985: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libpsp645li.so + 0x51985

So, looks like there is a problem in libpsp when loading your truetype
font file. Run this to find which one it was loading:
OOO_DEBUG=strace openoffice 2>&1 | grep -i "open(.*ttf" | tail
The last open line you see should be the filename of the font that
caused it to crash. If you move it away, you should find OOo will
continue to load.
If you do manage to find the file, could you maybe mail it to me so I
can try to reproduce the crash with a debug build?
Thanks,
Chris
