On all previous versions (4.1.*, 4.2.*) of libreoffice it respected my dpi settings ( $ xdpyinfo | ack resol resolution: 166x166 dots per inch ) but in this version everything became very small like if I had dpi = 90 (that's the default dpi xorg uses as far as I know). It's very problematic on high dpi screens.

I'm no expert, but by the sound of it, this could be the offending commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-4-3-2&id=9f308fbc02439e25f8932314a9374c205ebdbc4c
And this might be the cure: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1964870db4ad1e4334e8fc5050795469dc1fb05e (requires commit a2d4bd6864e108a11d6ca2b69de5ebce265102dc)
Placed the patch into 4.3.9999, will go into next 4.3 ebuild
This is fixed in the 4.4 branch and with a backport in our 4.3.6.2
