------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 21 15:36:01 -0700 2006 ------- On a Fedora Core 5 system, installing fonts does not work as described in the documentation I find. I discovered this using Writer, and have not tried the other parts of OO yet with the new font I installed. The spadmin program tries to install them in ~/.openoffice.org2.0/user/fonts and reports that zero fonts were installed, even though it copies the .ttf file there. The font shows up in the menu list but it does not render, until you copy the file to /usr/share/fonts/truetype Note that this directory is not even in my fontpath! ]$ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1 /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 /usr/share/fonts/japanese/misc:unscaled /usr/share/fonts/japanese/misc /usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi So, it is working, but by "magic." Either the spadmin program needs to be improved, or the instructions cleared up, to help new users take advantage of the multitude of fonts available.
