Then this might help as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts Basically your system fonts are in: /usr/share/fonts However, you can also create a /home/<username>/.fonts folder and add anything there if you wish to limit those fonts to a particular user. OOo or (U)OOo will use both. After you add new fonts manually it's always a good idea to update the font cache: $ sudo fc-cache -f -v If you were using the PPA it didn't install any additional fonts, it just used /usr/share/fonts and ~/.fonts if you had anything there. The (U)OOo 3.1 is, IMO, pretty stable; you can give it a try & always back down to (U)OOo 3.0 if you encounter issues. To do that you'll need to enable the (U)OOo PPA: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa Don't forget to enable the signing key: $ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 247D1CFF However, please be aware that software in PPA's (Personal Package Archives) are *not* officially supported by Ubuntu/Canonical, so use at your own risk. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
