The version of OpenOffice supplied with 8.2 has its startup script tweaked by
Mandrake to include the fonts imported by Drakfont. I am not sure if the same
is true of the StarOffice supplied in the Pro-pack, and it is certainly not
true for anyone who has downloaded OpenOffice 1.0 from openoffice.org.
Here is the relevent stanza from /usr/bin/ooffice
# Expand TrueType and Type1 font paths
chkfontpath="/usr/sbin/chkfontpath"
if [ -x "$chkfontpath" ]; then
fontpath=$($chkfontpath | perl -ne '/[0-9]+: (.*)/ and print "$1;"')
else
ttf_fontpath="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF;/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf"
for fontdir in /usr/share/fonts/ttf/*; do
ttf_fontpath="$ttf_fontpath;$fontdir"
done
type1_fontpath="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1;/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
fontpath="$ttf_fontpath;$type1_fontpath"
fi
SAL_FONTPATH_USER="$fontpath;$SAL_FONTPATH_USER"
