Sure. Slackware-13.1/32-bit. [rshepard@salmo ~]$ ls /usr/share/fonts/ 100dpi/ ISO8859-2/ PEX/ TrueType/ afms/ encodings/ local/ 75dpi/ ISO8859-9/ Speedo/ Type1/ atmfonts/ fonts.cache-1 misc/ CID/ OTF/ TTF/ URW/ culmus/ fonts.cache-2 util/
You might try updating your font cache. On Ubuntu (and Fedora & others) it is:
Just did this; no change.
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 have no .fonts directory under ~/.
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.
I installed a bunch of fonts from a Bitstream cdrom I bought over a decade ago, and all these fonts have been here for at least that long. My company logotype is Baker Signet and that's not available in LO; the standard body text is Bitstream Amerigo, and that is also not seen. Bitstream Charter is seen, but none of the others. For example, LO shows URW Palladio Latin (Italic), but not URW Palladio Roman (upright). Shrug. I don't recall having this issue when I switched to OO.o when WordPerfect/Linux stopped working when libc5 became libc6 and Novell dropped the application.
