Problem solved: I had simply copied the MS TT fonts to a font folder on the Linux machine & run font update. Looking at the other fonts in the folder I noticed that the filenames either had a "tt-" prefix to the font name or nothing - i.e. no ".ttf" postfix.
I renamed all the files from "xxxx.ttf" to "tt-xxxx", re-ran the cache update and everything now works :) The fonts are all available in OO3 Writer etc. I'm guessing there's a piece of code somewhere that doesn't like filenames with a full stop in them :) If I get time, I'll try & find it & fix it but as I don't know my way around the X11 font system at all, don't hold your breath!
