Hi Markus,

I use many versions of OpenOffice parallel and I want to add new fonts in a generic way to my used versions (2.2 and 2.3 and 2.4).
I'm using Linux.
Setting the environment variable SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE works on all versions, but slight differently :-( I have make a directory /share/fonts/truetype. That contains two more directories with different fonts. I want to add the font of both subdirectories to OpenOffice. With OpenOffice 2.4 it works to export SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE=/share/fonts/truetype and all fonts in the subdirectories are added.

Are the fonts in /share/fonts/truetype already known to fontconfig?
Do "fc-cache -v" to find out.
On newer versions of OOo like v2.4 most directory names are announced by fontconfig, which recurses into subdirectories.

But with OpenOffice 2.2 and 2.3 I have to export the names of the subdirectories to add the fonts. It does not not work to export the main directory, that contains the subdirectories. Is there any trick? Or have i to export the name of all subdirectories? I would like to export only the maindirectory.

AFAIK it was not implemented like that in libpsp*. I suggest to write an enhancement issue for the "gsl" project with a subject line such as e.g. "recurse into SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE for private fonts"

Thank you for working on the troubleshooting guide!
