It seems that Openoffice 3 (the build from
openoffice.org) in Fedora 9
can't use the arial black ttf font.
While in F10 Openoffice 3(fedora build) can.
fc-list : family file | grep Arial
/usr/share/fonts/drakfnt/ttf/arial.ttf: Arial
/usr/share/fonts/drakfnt/ttf/ariali.ttf: Arial
/usr/share/fonts/drakfnt/ttf/ARLRDBD.ttf: Arial Rounded MT Bold
/usr/share/fonts/drakfnt/ttf/arialbd.ttf: Arial
/usr/share/fonts/drakfnt/ttf/arialbi.ttf: Arial
/usr/share/fonts/drakfnt/ttf/ARIALUNI.ttf: Arial Unicode MS
/usr/share/fonts/drakfnt/ttf/ariblk.ttf: Arial,Arial Black
It is very weird that ariblk.ttf can't be used by the same version of
OpenOffice 3 in different versions of Fedora.
I just don't understand, what exactly is different.

Hello,
I have on a machine Fedora 9 where I have installed OpenOffice from
openoffice.org. Also on that machine I have installed ms core truetype
fonts.
I installed the truetype fonts in /usr/share/fonts/ttfonts/ttf and
the Type1 fonts in /usr/share/fonts/ttfonts/Type1.
After, I run in both these dirs: mkfontscale, mkfontdir, ttmkfdir and
fc-cache -fv.
The problem is when I open a .doc file which is using Arial Black
font, it looks as it is simple Arial and not Arial Black
While doing the same thing in Fedora 10 (using the default openoffice
3). Arial Black looks as it should.
Does anybody have a clue what might be wrong ?
How different are openoffice builds distributed by
openoffice.org from
those distributed by the fedora community ?
Thank you !
