That makes it looks like Rev is getting the names of the font *files*
while OO is getting the *display names* of the fonts, as ITC is the
International Typeface Corporation, one of the bigger companies that
make fonts.
If you see a font like Garamond listed on a computer, it's *probably*
ITC Garamond but could be Adobe Garamond, or any one of a whole bunch
of other (very slightly different looking) versions of Garamond. Go to
a site like identifont or myfonts and you'll be scared by how many
variations of a single font turn up when you type in a font name...
You'll probably find that ITC Avatgarde is probably listed as
Avantgarde by OO etc.
The positive side is that the way Rev is handling the fonts is that
you know *which* version of the font is being used. The bad side is
that anyone who cares which version is being used is probably using
font management software on a Mac for DTP so it's irrelevant for
Linux, and that Rev is doing things differently than all the other
apps on Linux. :-(

Here is a concrete example. I don't understand how Rev can be
handling
fonts in such a way that this happens.
We open Rev, create a new stack, a new button, and then set the
fonts. The
choices available in the 'i' category are these:
itwasntme
itc avantgarde
itc bookman
itc zapf chancery
Now we open OpenOffice and choose a font in a word document, and are
offered, in the 'i' category, these choices:
idautomation3of9
iscopeur
iscocteur
itwasntme
italian garamond
So how exactly is Rev getting its fonts? And why does it appear to
get a
bunch that OpenOffice is not getting? And why does it fail to get the
idautomation? Just to verify, I tried Kwrite. This gets the same
fonts as
OpenOffice, with an additional one, impact.
Very strange.
