GIMP, I'm not sure about. For OpenOffice, I got this tip from the forums; 1) Move all fonts from /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.3/share/fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ 2) Remove /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.3/share/fonts 3) Make a symlink from /opt/OpenOffice.org1.0.3/share/fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ This works great in that all fonts are available and any new font installations (that don't go in /usr/share/fonts) get automatically added to OpenOffice.
