I've been very interested in the discussion of the problems users are
having in LO5.4.1.2 not reading fonts. Someone mentioned that he had
converted a font to one LO had no trouble finding, So I thought I would
try and do the same .
Downloaded FontForge with the purpose of converting Garamond Adobe fonts
to a format which LO 5.4.1.2 can read.
When I open the Garamond fonts in Font Forge they are displayed
ugmm8a.pfb
ugmmi8a.pfb
ugmmr8a.pfb
ugmmri8a.pfb
Clicking on any one of them displays an edit window and I presume that I
should be able to convert each to something other than .pfb but have no
idea how to do it.
I have looked at several utube videos but they do not cover conversion
from one font type to another, concentrating upon creating new fonts. I
tried to access the fontforge website but after some twenty minutes of
waiting for it to load, without success, I gave up.
All advice would be welcome, as the Garamond font is used for my business
letterhead.

I just tried Fontforge using Ubuntu 16.04/MATE.
In opened a TTF font and went to File > Generate Fonts. I looked at the
option "buttons" and choose to make it an OTF one. All I had to do after
that was to save the font.
The process gave me some errors, but the resulting font looked the
same. Since I used a font that was decorative one, so it was not a
"standard" font. I think that was what the errors were about.
I do have the Adobe font collection in "storage", but I never used Type
1 fonts so I could not test Fontforge with that type of font.
