From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040301 Description of problem: I wish to install additional fonts in openoffice to aid compatability with MS Office apps. Previously I used spadmin to do this but in the current release (up2date installed 14-5-04) the `font' button in the spadmin dialogue is missing. Is the button planning to make an appearance in the future? If not how do I install additional fonts? The help text says to use spadmin Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.0-16.7.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run spadmin from the install directory (/usr/lib/openoffice) 2. That's it! 3. Actual Results: No font button in spadmin dialogue Expected Results: Previous release (1.0.2-8) worked OK Additional info:
1.1.0-16.7 actually uses fontconfig for font discovery. So, to install new fonts, just drop them in the normal places, namely under /usr/share/fonts and OOo should find them. If not, its a bug.
Thanks for the prompt feedback - works great. Perhaps future releases could include this info in the help text?
