In XF86Config-4, I had the following line :
FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/" 

but /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/ only contains the files
encodings.dir and fonts.dir 

So I added the following line in XF86Config-4 :
FontPath  "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"

I also removed the following line in XF86Config-4 :
FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/" 

And it worked : Openoffice works, and my Truetype fonts are back in
business.

Thanks Warren !
