Try with DejaVu fonts. Also paste the output of 'locale'. I can't help
with KDE nor OpenOffice as I don't use any, but I switch keyboard
layouts with
setxkbmap ro
or similar. There are also two types of Romania layouts. The default one
uses AltGr (right Alt) as a compose key and you get the diacritics like
Alt + a = ă
Alt + s = ş
Alt + t = ţ
...
Alt + q = â
The "std" variant ('setxkbmap ro std')is almost identic with the one you
might know from Windows (ex. "z" and "y" are not swapped).
If you don't plan to exchange documents with XP users I would suggest to
use the "comma" variant or the "academic" one, because they generate the
correct ș and ț (you might notice there is a comma below not a cedilla).
If you are interested in this stuff you might want to join
debian-l10n-romanian (very low traffic) or diacritice@googlegroups.com
(low traffic), the unofficial coordination of Romania localization
efforts.

Andrei
