Ok, well if Times and Times New Roman are different sizes then there definitely is a bug somewhere else that maybe just looked like it was solved due to 'mismapping' of Times -> Nimbus. Sorry for the confusion, and yes there are other fontconfig related problems with OOo, maybe some of those will cause the apparent problem with sizing to be resolved.
