(Get the code!)
I found a way to work around this bug: I created a special document that has all the different characters that I've seen misbehave in OOo. It has them in several fonts, in plain, italic, bold and bold italic versions. If I open that document first, then OOo seems to forget about the bug.
I manage to create this magic document after a fresh start (the bug didn't seem to have kicked in yet). The behaviour is now somewhat "regular": If I open one of my misbehaving documents first, the characters display wrongly (different wrong every time...). But if I shut down OOo, and then open my special document first, and then my real documents, then everything is OK.
This is of course completely crazy, and just a temporary work-around.
Before doing this, I of course tried everything else, like delteing my ".openoffice.org2" directory, reinstalling OOo, restarting the computer... Nothing helped. I'm actually using a non-Ubuntu version of OOo now, 2.4, but it displays the same crazy behaviour. Only my "magic" document keeps me from going mad - and lets me get some work done...
