Hi Dante,
This certainly works as I've tested on a linux server where I'd also
installed the MS fonts so let me explain how it works to see if that
offers a clue as to what's going wrong.
OpenBD works as follows when it comes to fonts in CFDOCUMENT.
Firstly it looks to the <server><fonts><dirs> element in the
bluedragon.xml for font paths.
If that doesn't exist then it will check if any of the follow paths
exist. Any that exist will be added to the bluedragon.xml so that the
search isn't performed next time round.
/usr/X/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
In those directories it will look for font files with the .otf and .ttf
extension.
If all that seems to be ok on your server, try a variety of the other MS
fonts to see if it's not just Arial that you're having the problem with.
