Put the TTF in ~/.fonts.  Restart OpenOffice.  If it doesn't show up,
I'd guess that the file is bad.  Not that I condone downloading ITC
fonts (I don't), but I tested one from this page:

Dafont.com is a good resource for truly free fonts.  This category
ought to provide something better than 'Tempus Sans' ;)

PS - I maintain an app in extras called fontypython that puts symlinks
from fonts - wherever you store them - into ~/.fonts.  If you're
constantly having to manage thousands of fonts, it may make your life
easier.  If not, it's probably overkill.
