Perhaps you have Albany as a replacement font. Check
Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org|Fonts
I run & test OOo 2.3.1, 2.4.0, 3.0Beta (standard), StarOffice 8/10, and
(U)OOo 2.3.0 & 2.4.0 (Ubuntu) and cannot reproduce what you are seeing.
Also check to see if you have:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ariali.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbi.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf

Note:
Font Fallback
What is this Font Fallback in OpenOffice.org 2
Font-Fallback kicks in whenever a font is requested that is not
installed on the system. (Not installed means: not available to OOo).
OOo then tries to use a different font from the ones that OOo knows
about that matches the requested one as close as possible.

Albany is a close match to Arial. I recommend that you reinstall
msttcorefonts:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall msttcorefonts
and then:
sudo fc-cache -f -v
to update all of your font caches.
If you still have problems, you can copy
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ariali.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbi.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf
to
/home/<user>/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf
/home/<user>/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ariali.ttf
/home/<user>/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbi.ttf
/home/<user>/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf
