I copied all the fonts & dir's under /usr/share/fonts to ~/.fonts with no luck. I also created a symbolic link in the ~/.openoffice.org2.0/user directory that points to ~/.fonts with no luck there either... However I'm not so sure that the real issue isn't in the available fonmts themselves. I'm assuming that the files I copied from /usr/share/fonts and from ~/.fonts on the old SuSE drive actually contain the fonts I'm looking for. Maybe those directories only contained default fonts that I already have. Any thoughts?
