OpenOffice and font.

[Darksky77]

Hi,

 

i have imported by drakfont all my winXp font. All work, i see that font in other application such as my default browser, Firebird.

But OpenOffice seems don't reconize that font. In the font list i read the old default list and i don't see the news font ( they are a lot ).

I read the faq in the OO documentation but it seems that is ok but it's not ok.

This is the result of my /usr/sbin/chkfontpath command

 

Current directories in font path:

1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled

2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont

3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1

4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf

5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled

6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled

7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1

8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF

9: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo

10: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/pcf_drakfont:unscaled

11: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mdk:unscaled

12: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1

13: /usr/share/fonts/ttf/vera

14: /usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives

15: /usr/share/fonts/ttf/western

 

The faq says that this path are checked by OOo to search for fonts. Well in drakefont dir e sub dir i have all the damned imported font....why OO don't show them ?

 

Thx in advance for any help.

Use spadmin to add the ms fonts. in a console cd to /usr/lib/openoffice/program and the ./spadmin. Then select fonts. It's all pretty straight forward, just add the fonts from your win partition. Do this as root .

Did you try out drakfont in the controlcenter? There's an option to add all fonts to OO and others.

Please tell me, if that does not work, then i'll have to correct some machines ;)

I suspect drakfont has imported the TTF and put in this path:

 

4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf

 

Try

$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf

 

and see if they were there.
