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
