I found a fairly simple solution to the problem: OpenOffice apparently puts its own TrueType fonts in the directory
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype So I renamed that directory to something else, and instead, linked my X truetype directory. Started OpenOffice, all the fonts appeared in the menu beautifully, and they print correctly as well. Thanks to everyone that helped! ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
