Hello-

i'm trying to use a user installed truetype font under openoffice.. this is
what i did:

mkdir /usr/local/fonts/ttf
cp * /usr/local/fonts/ttf
cd /usr/local/fonts/ttf
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir
chkfontpath -a /usr/local/fonts/ttf

this worked i.e. the palatino font (pala.ttf, palai.ttf, palab.ttf, and
palabi.ttf) and the garamond font (gara.ttf, garab.ttf, and garabi.ttf)
displayed text correctly and they both showed up under the font menu in
openoffice. but now, after upgrading to openoffice.org-1.1.1-5, the text is not
being rendered correctly and under the font menu, palatino appears only as (i'm
guessing) a printer font (it has a little printer icon next to it). garamond
does not appear whatsoever in the menu.

did i forget to do something to make this work correctly? or, is this a problem
with openoffice.org-1.1.1-5. i'm sorry for not providing more debugging info
but i'm not exactly sure what i should provide. any help would be greatly
appreciated..

thanks again,
mark. :-)

p.s. please no personal attacks. :-)
