You could also try putting symbolic links to your fonts in
~/.openoffice.org2.0/user/fonts. Maybe that will work.
Does anyone know where the "add fonts" button in spadmin has gone? I'll
swear that it used to be right there near the bottom of the window. I'm
not entirely sure of exactly what it did, though it may have simply created
symbolic links in ~/.openoffice.org2.0/user/fonts as I suggest here, in
which case I suppose it's not a great loss.
I copied all the fonts & dir's under /usr/share/fonts to ~/.fonts with no
luck.
I also created a symbolic link in the ~/.openoffice.org2.0/user directory that
points to ~/.fonts with no luck there either...
However I'm not so sure that the real issue isn't in the available fonmts
themselves. I'm assuming that the files I copied from /usr/share/fonts and
from ~/.fonts on the old SuSE drive actually contain the fonts I'm looking
for. Maybe those directories only contained default fonts that I already
have.
Any thoughts?
