I had no such folder, but I found the needed fonts on my system in /both/ of the following directories as ‘Georgia_Italic.ttf’ etc.: /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/ /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ When I followed this advice: On 11-10-17 05:56 AM, Tom Davies wrote: > In Ubuntu once you get a ttf file just double-click on it to get a preview > and down at the bottom right should be a button to click to install the font. > The folder was automatically created. Unfortunately, the fonts still didn't show up in LibreOffice using the ones in either of those directories (unless I need to do something weird like reboot the machine for it to take effect).

I don't think this should be necessary given that I already appear to have the needed fonts, and in the particular circumstances—which I won't go into—it would be awkward for me to ask. Any other ideas? Thanks again, Mark ps.
