Sorry I don't have OO 2. I thought you were having the a-jofola-akar problem everywhere. > Can you now please do something about the 'e-kar' at the start of a word?

Just drop them in the .fonts/ directory under your home directory, logout and then login and you have it in the font selection list. For OO, an additional step is required - run OO's Printer Selector from the startup-menu and select the font from there. That's all. And I am happily leaving with X carrying only this small knowledge on fonts! So don't be unhappy ;-)
