Yes, this looks like OpenOffice still uses wadalab-gothic and not
kochi-gothic. This happens when the xtt-fonts.rpm is installed.

I don't know how to force OpenOffice to prefer kochi-mincho and
kochi-gothic over watanabe-mincho and wadalab-gothic.

But why not just delete xtt-fonts.rpm?:

    rpm -e xtt-fonts.rpm

I see no advantage whatsoever in wadalab-gothic and watanabe-mincho
over kochi-gothic and kochi-mincho.

The Kochi fonts are more beautiful, have a Unicode character map, have
glyphs for vertical printing, and have embedded bitmaps for sizes
between 10 and 20 pixel.

The xtt-fonts are ugly and buggy. Just delete them.
