From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I've got several fonts from Adobe's Font Folio OpenType Edition (*.otf). They are OpenType fonts with PostScript outlines (as opposed to TrueType outlines), and OpenOffice doesn't show them on the font list. Fontconfig (GNOME font selector, etc) recognizes and shows them perfectly. Very good summary of such fonts is at http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/ I wasn't able to find any free *.otf fonts on Adobe's site, though. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Drop some *.otf fonts to ~/.fonts. Actual Results: Fontconfig recognizes them and shows them (in GTK font selector), but, even after restarting OO.o, they doesn't show up in OO.o's font selector. Expected Results: OO.o should recognize such fonts. Additional info:
Please see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16032 OOo doesn't yet support *.otf fonts (I'm fairly certain), support for them would be provided by upstream and filter back to Fedora.
