That sounds simple enough, but when I try it, nothing happens -- I
follow the sequence of menus, click "Install fonts from the Web", and
nothing happens -- no menu pops up, nothing.  Am I doing something
obviously wrong?  I tried another of the wizards, and *it* put up
a menu, so apparently it's just the one for fonts that does this?

This is OpenOffice 1.9.117 (according to the "About" box -- the
splash screen says 2.0), on a Fedora Core 4 system.
