I managed to find the Bookman font (Actually called Bookman Old Style). I placed it under ~/.fonts Though I must admit I liked URW Bookman L much better. When opening a document written in a specific font and that font is not on the system, then what font is LibreOffice using? OpenSuse 12.3

I didn't see the earlier posts so not sure what exactly the question was, but I have AppleWorks 6 and it can save to .rtf which can then be opened in LO. My version also uses MacLinkPlus (a library of file converters) to save to M$Word format. Note that I haven't installed MacLinkPlus
