You might try updating your font cache. On Ubuntu (and Fedora & others) it is: $ sudo fc-cache -f -v Also test to see if the font(s) LO that isn't being picked up gets picked up from a ~/.fonts folder instead. Copy a particular font that you can easily recognize to there & then restart LO and see if the font appears. I'm sure that you already know that some fonts don't appear according to the file name... examples: AmericanTypewriter-Bold.otf is actually: ITC American Typewriter ANTQUA.TTF is actually: Book Antiqua etc. This has caught me off guard in the past, so if I can't find American Typwriter, I open the font in either font viewer or fontforge to find out what the actual font name is. Then check & yep, 'ITC American Typewriter' is actually there. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
