You're a fool. It obviously does.

Martin is not a fool and he often provides useful information; he was simply wrong in this particular case, but this happens and other community members can promptly rectify wrong advice.
Thanks Andrea,

I like to refer to the email from Rory O'Farrel from 23 Dec 2014 where he said:
    "OpenOffice uses the fonts installed on your computer."
and the email from Regina Henschel from 24 Dec 2014 where she said:
    "fonts are independent of OpenOffice"

So I was not aware of the exceptions of the rule I can now confirm that there are some fonts included
Arimo, DejaVu, Gentium Basic and Open Symbols


DejaVu fonts version included is 2.33.

Correct, and in general for those who wonder: look at
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/ext_sources/
and
https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/ooo-extras/downloads/list
to see what fonts are (optionally) bundled with OpenOffice.

Regards,
  Andrea.

OpenOffice uses the fonts installed on your computer.  Find a font that suits 
your needs, download it and install on your computer.  OpenOffice should find 
that font on next startup.

Hello Jamie,

you have already read, that fonts are independent of OpenOffice. Therefore here some tips for your search.

You can search with adding term "script", "handwriting" or "calligraphy". Or search for the font name (e.g "Palace Script") or for the font file name (e.g. "english_.ttf", "kunstler.ttf").

There are some sites, which collect free fonts, e.g.
http://www.dailyfreefonts.com/fonts/script/typefaces.html
http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/steffmann/index.htm
http://www.dafont.com/
http://www.identifont.com/free-fonts.html
http://ufonts.com
http://www.fontsaddict.com

Most of the sites tag the fonts or put them in categories, and most of them have a preview.

A picture search with the font name or the font file name will give an additional impression, whether the font is suitable for your purpose.

But I cannot guarantee that the fonts offered on such sites are indeed free. In addition, be careful not to click on advertisements.

Kind regards
Regina
