Why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why does OO office open with the default normal font as Times New Roman 12pt. Who in their right mind and with even the faintest modicum of a sense of style would never use that to type anything. Why don't OO go the whole hog and make it caps as well?
Apart from that loaded it on Leopard and it looks good

I'd say default font is fine with me, but we would never understand each other.
Go to options and change the default font to one you like.

Although no longer used by The Times, it is still widely used for book typography.

ok, but a) it doesn't use it any more and b) that is a N E W S P A P E R not a web site. Serif fonts are much harder to read on a screen than sans serif and one assumes that a lot of docs get read rather than printed, so a sans serif and a bit smaller would be perhaps a better choice? Maybe Verdana that was designed to render better on screen? Ok so you can change it but how many people will?
I mean it's not that important and i don't want to start an argument, it was just a passing comment.

I think that they should change the default font, and I highly agree with John. The default font should be more appealing, like Arial! Microsoft changed, I changed, OpenOffice.org should change it!!!
