-Have some shiny new BitstreamVera fonts? Can't get them working in OpenOffice? Well then....
-
-When loading OpenOffice looks for TrueType or Type1 Fonts in the following places:
-
-* The directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
-* The output of the command /usr/sbin/chkfontpath
-* The fontpath as returned by XGetFontPath()
-* Directories given by the environment variable SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE, usually this variable is set by the soffice script to "openoffice_dir"/share/fonts/truetype
-
-This method uses the output of chkfontpath.
-As root:
- # mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/
-This creates a fonts.dir file in your BitstreamVera fonts directory.
- # chkfontpath -a /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/
-This adds the directory to the chkfontpath list
-
-Now retstart OpenOffice and look at your pretty new fonts :-)%%%
-You may like to change the default font under Tools > Options > Text Document > Basic Fonts.
-
-Most of this information was sourced from the
[OpenOffice Font FAQ|http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html
] which has some interesting information regarding a whole lot of font problems with OpenOffice.

-__Using Windows fonts from a mount point__
-
-If you're trying to include your windows TTF fonts that are in your your c:\windows\fonts folder then you may need to create a truetype font folder on a linux filesystem which has symlinks to all the fonts on your VFAT or NTFS partition.
-Eg:
-
- cd /usr/share/fonts
- mkdir truetype
- cd truetype
- ln -s /mnt/win_c/windows/fonts/*.ttf
.
- ttmkfdir
- mkfontdir
- chkfontpath -a /usr/share/fonts/truetype
- fc-cache
