Perhaps updating your font cache will resolve the problem? Don't know the command for Mandriva or SuSE, but Debian/Ubuntu is: sudo fc-cache -fv You can also copy fonts to your OOo user profile directory: ~./openoffice.org2/user/fonts FWIW: OOo 2.3.1 is out now and fixes multiple problems (example: Fontwork now actually works) so you should consider updating. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
