emh Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I've never had this problem before, and I don't know why it has suddenly surfaced now. Namely, I install fonts using the "Get Windows Fonts" option in Mandrake Control Center. Up until about a week ago, Open Office had no probelm at all using the fonts. Now it refuses to see any of the Windows Fonts. I've tried the following: 1. Uninstalling and re-installing Open Office 2. Re-installing the Windows Fonts 3. Manually installing the Windows Fonts one by one. 4. Restarting the computer 5. Going into the ttf directory, where the fonts are kept, and manually running the "ttmkfdir" and "mkfontdir" commands 6. Uninstalling the Mandrake Open Office and installing the 1.1 release tarball. None of these options have worked. Any suggestions? I should state that the Mandrake Control Center sees the fonts just fine, and so does KWord. Using Mandrake 9.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooYah Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 The easiest thing to try is this: Go to your user's OO directory and navigate yourself to the ~/OpenOffice.orgXXX/user/psprint directory and remove the file pspfontcache. Fire-up OpenOffice and your fonts should all be there, provided that they're availible to X. A nifty trick to make startup faster, used to be to recreate an empty pspfontcache file but this time make it read-only. I haven't tried this with the 1.1rc though, since it's fast enough already. If this doesn't work we can try installing your font's another way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it didn't work. I also tried deleting the entire ".openoffice" directory in my home directory, and it didn't work. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooYah Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 See if you have another one in /usr/share/lib/openoffice/share/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I'll look into it when I get home. I also have another idea I can try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkbiyer Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 What about ooadmin (the printer setting utility) ? Go to the fonts option there and add new fonts (the TTFs from windows) ooadmin might also be named as spadmin (a la soffice vs ooffice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
