Thanks for that. Yes, I did see that question when installing Open
Office and I did select 'Yes'. Open Office offers many, but not all,
of the system's fonts. There's a particular font on the system which
is not available in Open Office. I'm thinking that I could make this
font available to "the computer" and reinstall Open Office. A bit
cumbersome but I think it would work. Thanks again.

I have a new Mac Mini and am using the latest release of Open

tell me how to get Open Office to use the full list of fonts which
the Mac has preinstalled? Open Office offers a list of some of
those fonts, but I see many more in the Applications/Font Book.
Thanks.
Which version of OpenOffice? For versions 2.0.3 and 2.0.4rc2 there
is a
program called Fondu that converts most of the fonts, if not all, to a
version that OpenOffice.org can use. When you install and first use
OpenOffice.org 2.0.3/4 as an adminstrative user, you will see a
question, use system fonts and two buttons, yes and no. Selecting the
Yes button will run Fondu which will convert all of the system
fonts to
a type that can be used by OpenOffice.org. When you login as a
non-administrative user, those fonts should remain available for your
use as well as being asked a second time if you want to convert those
fonts available to only that user. Is this not what happened when you
tried to use OpenOffice.org or are you using an older version?
