So the current directory is not in $PATH. You can start it with
./spadmin
and IIRC, spadmin has to be run as root.
Run it as root to install printers and fonts that you want available to
all users, but users can also run spadmin whence (haven't used that word
in a while) it will install fonts, and I assume printers also, in the
users private openoffice.org area.
By the way:
If JJJ isn't using spadmin then I assume he's dropping fonts into the
openoffice.org fonts directory directly (either the directory fonts area
or his private fonts directory). This appears to work fine so far as
I've found.
So I also tried dropping an OpenType font in there as well bypassing
spadmin, and it appears to work fine as well. Yet, as has been widely
noted, spadmin can't handle OpenType fonts, and so if the only
impediment to OTF with OOo on Linux is that spadmin doesn't see the file
extension, then that's should be very easily fixed in the code. I think
I looked at the code once and saw that "otf" wasn't in the list of
recognised extensions. At the time I assumed that this was for a reason,
e.g. that other parts of OOo don't handle OTF. But maybe OOo on Linux
handles OTF fine, and it's simply spadmin that doesn't recognisethem.
Just thought I'd mention that.
