Well the fonts should only need to be available to the X server (64bit) and the print server (64bit) (in case it is doing postscript rendering), or Xprint if it uses that (also 64bit). I think all you should need is perhaps cupsys-client and/or cupsys-bsd client programs installed in the chroot so it can connect to the print server on port 631.

I haven't tried it myself, but I think it ought to work that way.

Printing from chrooted open office 

Well, I use LPRNG (rather than CUPS) and it works without any changes. That's because printing always goes over network connections, so the chroot client can talk directly to the non-chroot lprng server.
