I removed 2.0.4 and installed openoffice-bin (2.1) and the fonts work fine with that release. I think for the moment I'm going to call that the solution and run with it. Thanks for the help.

All my existing fonts which I added were being substituted with other fonts. Have you tried deleting ~/ooo-2.0/user/psprint/pspfontcache and then restarting OOO? It's been a while since I fooled around with OOO fonts, so my memory is fuzzy. I seem to have convinced OOO to pick up 2745 fonts, judging from the length of pspfontcache. (More than ~3000 fonts and the startup times become unbearably long.) I converted all my OpenType fonts to TrueType with the following script: #! /bin/env fontforge # Quick and dirty hack: converts a font to truetype (.ttf), works only # with one font. # Use in a bash loop like this: #for font in *.otf ; do # fontforge -script otf2ttf $font #done # Print(Opening +$1); Open($1); Print(Saving +$1:r+.ttf); Generate($1:r+.ttf); Quit(0); I believe that this script works with Type 1 (PostScript) fonts as well, despite what the comments say. (You'll have to change bash loop, though to pick up *.pfb or *.pfa??? files.)

[gentoo-user] Open Office 2.0.4 and fonts
Greetings; I just upgraded Open Office from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 (yes, I'm behind). Now, I can't use any of the fonts other than the ones which come with Open Office. All my existing fonts which I added were being substituted with other fonts. I emptied the directory /usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype and tried to reinstall, as root and then as user (using spadmin). Still doesn't work. I tried copying the fonts over manually. Doesn't work. I deleted ~/.ooo-2.0. Doesn't work. I tried running as root. Doesn't work. I tried all of this on my other computer, which I just upgraded as well. Doesn't work there either. I tried searching the bug list and the gentoo forum. Couldn't find anything relevant . . . My USE flags (on this box at least) are: root $ emerge -pv openoffice These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
