Thanks, Jim > > Hi Jim; I got Type 1 fonts working in OOo by putting them in my ~/.fonts directory. The interesting thing is that my collection is all categorized alphabetically by directory, meaning an A directory for fonts starting with the letter A, then a B directory, etc., and I was able to copy the whole directory structure into my ~/.fonts directory, restart GNOME (they didn't show up until I did that), and there they were in OOo. Another question I saw pop up on some list somewhere was how to make Type 1 fonts available in Scribus. There is a tab in the Options or Preferences menu item in Scribus, and you can add directories. I did that, and found that I had to add each sub-directory of ~./fonts in order for the fonts to be seen. I have not played with making Type 1 fonts available system wide. You could also refer to the FC3 README (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/) which has the recommended procedure for installing fonts in FC3. Now, what's with running spadmin? Are you not using the stock Fedora OOo? -P
