Well, OOo2 could run fondu twice:

1) convert
     - from /System/Library/Fonts and from /Library/fonts
     - to /Applications/OpenOffice.org2.0.app/Contents/.........

     (this is currently done)

2) convert
     - from ~/Library/Fonts
     - to ~/.openoffice.org2/user/fonts

     (This is currently not done. Note that initially that directory
       may have to be created first)



This way system fonts are globally available and user fonts are available only to the user. I'm using this currently and it works nicely.

Also, I would recommend changing the user preference directory from ~/.openoffice.org2 to ~/Library/OpenOffice.org 2.0 or even better would be ~/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org 2.0

This way the configuration would be visible to users, like in all the other applications (e.g. then manually copying/deleting .ttf fonts would be possible for normal Mac users)

You're right, private user fonts are currently not available. The
problem is that the whole fondu stuff is just a workaround and modifies
the OOo installation which is available to all users. So we can only put
public fonts into the installation folders which are available to all users.

The correct solution of course would be to not use fondu at all but
provide direct support for Apple fonts. But currently nobody is working
on it. Any volunteers ?
