What does it mean when you have two fonts selected like this? It seems to ignore the second font.

Re: two fonts selected
It means the document probably came from a web page: html supports alternate font names, where the first available will be used and the others are "fallback" options. OO Writer will accept the string as a font name, but it doesn't understand or support such strings as a list of fonts. Whether it ignores the font name altogether, or ignores all after the first, I don't know.
I also don't know whether MS Word supports such alternate font specifications; it's possible, I guess.

Re: two fonts selected
Remember that the font showing in the Writer font drop-down selection box is the font the document is asking for. This may NOT be the font being used to create the display because, if the font being asked for is not installed on the PC, Windows (or other operating system) will silently substitute a different font which is available.
The [url=hhttp://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/testfonts]TestFonts[/url] add-on is invaluable for finding missing fonts which the document is asking for, but which are not installed on the PC.
You can see which fonts are installed on the PC by Start > Control Panel > Fonts or by clicking C:\Windows\Fonts.
