This looks like the kind of issue that can be generated by a font conflict in your operating system. Have you tried launching Apple's Font Book application to see if you have duplicate fonts on your system? If so, resolving the duplicates may deal with this problem. There is an extensive discussion of font management on this page

Font book reports no problems or duplicate fonts.
I wonder whether anyone else running Snow and NeoOffice 3.0 patch 7 has the same problem. |

I can reproduce this on a clean Snow Leopard installation so Apple has definitely broken some of the font metric query functions in Snow Leopard.
Unfortunately, no development is being done on NeoOffice 3.0 at this time and all Snow Leopard development work and bug fixing will occur in NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access which is scheduled for release on 15 September 2009.
We will open a bug and put it in our queue of bugs to fix. If you are a NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access Program member, we will post a test patch after that you can try when we have a fix.
If you are not a NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access member, any bug fixes that we do during the Early Access Program will be available fordownload NeoOffice 3.0.1 starting on 27 October 2009.

looking at the Snow Leopard forum(s) over on Apple Discussion forums, there seems to be people having problems with fonts in various Apple applications. So maybe this is more a problem for Apple than for NeoOffice.
FWIW |

Fortunately, I was able to fix this bug yesterday and the fix will be in the NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access release when we release it on 15 September.
I found the cause of this bug yesterday and it was caused by a small change the glyph size values that Apple's Java 1.6 returns and I was able to fix it by explicitly setting the font size before fetching glyph sizes.
