I just updated a few days ago. Locate finds the openoffice fonts
here: /usr/lib/openoffice/share/psprint/fontmetric
That dir is dated 12/29, when I updated but the file
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/psprint/pspfontcache
is dated 12/31, when I first got a chance to do some work with the
editor. I didn't run spadmin so OO must have gone out and updated the
fonts. You might also checl /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf.

Got me (?). I haven't lost any fonts but I have been running the
unstable version for months.
