/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian is the place I guess you didn't look :) > How do I add fonts to my OpenOffice install? "As part of the integration of Ximian's work, openoffice now uses fontconfig to determine the installed fonts on your system. Fonts that were installed using the 'spadmin' tool in a non-standard directory are no longer supported. You should move those fonts to a directory that fontconfig knows about, such as ~/.fonts or /usr/local/share/fonts." > I've tried running spadmin as a normal user and also as root -- no luck. > Where is this "Fonts" menu hidden? The 'add font' functionality of spadmin is only necessary on Linux because there was no standardised way to add fonts for the whole system. The Debian packages are patched to use the fontconfig mechanism, which provides a way for openoffice.org to find fonts installed on the system. OpenOffice.org version 2 will use the fontconfig mechanism too. > I downloaded the freefonts tarball > and I want to install them. If the fonts you require are not already apt-gettable, copy them into /usr/share/fonts, or ~/.fonts if you just want to use them with your user. See the fontconfig documentation for more information.
