Hi henri,
go to user/share/fonts & see in which folder your font is there(truetype or
else)
in that folder see is there exist files .dir, fonts.scale, *cache
if these fiels are there
**follow instuctions
1) exit the openoffice
2) from terminal go to usr/share/fonts/"that folders" & run following
command
3) mkfontdir
fc-cache
now start openoffice & check is your font is htere or not
normally it works
Regards,
Pravin S
