-!! Installing new fonts
-
-''Note: I don’t know how useful the following is. <tt>chkfontpath</tt> appears to be a RedHat-ism, and is possibly obsolete as well.'' —

-When loading, [OpenOffice.org] looks for TrueType or Type1 fonts in the following places:
-
-* In <tt>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</tt>
-* In the output of the command <tt>chkfontpath</tt>
-* In the fontpath as returned by <tt>XGetFontPath()</tt>
-* In the directories listed in the EnvironmentVariable <tt>SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE</tt>, which is usually set to <tt>share/fonts/truetype</tt> below the installation path of [OpenOffice.org] by the <tt>soffice</tt> launcher
-
-This method to install fonts hooks into the output of <tt>chkfontpath</tt>. We’ll assume you have copied a font family called ''Foob Ar'' into <tt>/usr/share/fonts/foobar/</tt>. The following commands have to be issued as root.
-
- <verbatim>
- mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/foobar
- chkfontpath -a /usr/share/fonts/foobar/
- </verbatim>
-
-This creates a <tt>fonts.dir</tt> file in your font family directory, then adds the directory to <tt>chkfontpath</tt>’s list. Now retstart [OpenOffice.org] and your pretty new fonts should be available. You may like to change the default font under <i>Tools → Options → Text Document → Basic Fonts</i>.

-! Using Windows fonts from a mount point
-
-To include the TrueType fonts from your MicrosoftWindows installation you need to create a font directory with SymLink~s to all the fonts on your Windows partition. Assuming the fonts are in <tt>C:\windows\fonts</tt> and the C: partition of Windows is mounted on <tt>/mnt/win_c</tt> in [Linux], you have to do the following (as root):''''
-
- <verbatim>
- mkdir /usr/share/fonts/winfonts
- cd /mnt/win_c/windows/fonts
- ln -s *.ttf *
.TTF /usr/share/fonts/winfonts
- cd /usr/share/fonts/winfonts
- ttmkfdir
- mkfontdir
- chkfontpath -a /usr/share/fonts/winfonts
- fc-cache
- </verbatim>
