I also was not aware that OpenOffice included fonts; coming from a designer 
background my computers are liberally stocked with fonts and I don't normally 
notice if an application adds or tries to add a font or font family, as it may 
already be resident on my computer.

The normal query on the Forum is from a user who had a particular font on an 
older installation and thinks that OpenOffice should supply and install this 
font as he suspects it might have done previously, but he/she is actually not 
aware of where the font in question actually came from.
