Huh? I think the answer is no File > Wizard > Install fonts from the web ... does not install fonts on a system level. Please have a look at the macros in the wizard and you will see that. If you want the OOo font sets to install on your system you will have to locate the repositories, download the sets, convert and install them. Obviously this is not an OOo question so I recommend you get the fonts and then ask those who support your OS for suggestions on how to do this. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
