I put them in a directory called /usr/share/fonts/purchased

This next step probably is not necessary, or so I have been told, but

cd /usr/share/fonts/purchased
mkfontscale .
mkfontdir

They just work and are available systemwide. I don't use OO.o though.
OO.o use to do its own font thing - I don't know if it still does.
