Well, finally I have a definitive answer. Now I know that the OOo Font
install wizard only installs fonts for OOo's use, not system-wide use.
That's not what one would expect. Fonts are a system resource. Suppose
OOo installs some font and the user generates a PDF from an OOo document
using that font. The same user will not be able to see that font when
reading the PDF, because Acrobat Reader or whatever other reader used
on the system, won't know anything about that font, and will substitute
something else. I see this all the time on Linux, because I receive
PDFs that don't use the standard Adobe fonts, and the PDF doesn't look
like it should.
This needs to be resolved. If a font is installed in Windows, it's
system-wide. There's no such thing as an application-specific font
installation. We need to do the same on all the other platforms OOo
supports.
I'm no Linux guru; with a lot of experimentation, I might eventually get
this by trial and error, but it would be VERY helpful if OOo would do it
right for me.

No, Gary, it has to do with OOo, because I want to know if the wizard
installs in such a way that the fonts are not just available to OOo.
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.
