I have a related problem with Nimbus Sans L after switching to Oneiric.
This font appears in condensed mode both in the edit and slideshow modes
(in this bug report, this problem is reported only in slideshow mode).

If you face this too, here is a workaround that I applied to make the
edit mode work again...

1/ Look for the font files for "Nimbus Sans L Condensed"

grep "Nimbus Sans" /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/*.afm | grep Condensed/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019043l.afm:FullName Nimbus Sans L Regular Condensed
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019044l.afm:FullName Nimbus Sans L Bold Condensed
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019063l.afm:FullName Nimbus Sans L Regular Condensed Italic
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019064l.afm:FullName Nimbus Sans L Bold Condensed Italic

2/ Remove the corresponding files:
rm /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n0190{43,44,63,64}l.*

Again, this just fixes edit mode, not slideshow mode, which is still
broken (probably becahse of the LibreOffice bug reported here)

In my case, this is sufficient, because I export my documents to PDF,
and I don't observe any problem viewing the PDF files then.

To revert your changes:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gsfonts

Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to let me know if you wish me to file a
separate bug.

  is the text with Nimbus Sans L font looks in edit view as it does in
  slide show.
