Look, I've tried spadmin. As root. In fact, you can't run it unless you run it 
as root.

The problem is spadmin CANNOT SEE OPENTYPE FONTS. I browse to the folder and it 
thinks the folder is empty. I add a TrueType to the folder and then it sees 
that font. But it does not see a font file with the .otf extension as a "font 
file." 

Therefore I cannot install OpenType fonts for OO.o with spadmin.

The fonts are correctly installed in the system. Most other apps can see and 
use them just fine. 

Any other way to get OO.o to see my OpenType fonts?
