KOffice 1.2.x uses KDE 3.x, KDE 3.x uses FontConfig (if compiled against Qt 
3.1 and XFree86 with FontConfig support)

So, about KOffice:  answer is yes, it supports FontConfig already.

OpenOffice has to be fixed, if it isn't fixed already.
Or OO should be ported to some toolkit which supports FontConfig already (GTK 
2.2, Qt 3.1)

Don't use OO, that's it. ;-)
