Comment from pmackay

For some, it may be much more difficult.  I use a variety of Unicode fonts 
containing the full Polytonic Greek repertory and key into them with
Thessalonica.
Whenever I tried to access these fonts I got Luxi Sans instead, with no
Greek at all. 
OO.o-2-3 seems either to have done your X-font library upgrades for you,
or bypassed the the font server mechanism altogether.  OO.o-2.4 won't
work unless the font-server has been brought up to date.  In an old FC2
Linux,
I had to copy all needed TTF fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF,
hand edit fonts.scale, hand edit fonts.dir, run fc-cache
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF -v
and then reboot to upgrade the font server demon.  Note that this affects
only the display, and that the various fonts directories that supply the
printer
are entirely independent of this operation.  

When you edit fonts.scale and fonts.dir, remember to change the line count
at the head of the file.  Otherwise your additions will simply be ignored.
I hope this operation will be automated to some extent with OO.o-3.0.
