How do I install fonts in Open Office?

from your prev thread, did u install the msttcorefonts?
if not:
OOo uses system wide fonts. simplest way is to create a /home/user/.fonts (note dot before for hidden file in your /home folder) and copy paste the windows fonts (assuming you have WindowsXP running as dual-boot system, copy from your windows partition>WINDOWS\Fonts) you wish to have in your linux OS. logout\login. fonts should be available in OOo.

Or just open up Synaptic, search for msttcorefonts and install.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-formats or format or something like that, just hit tab a couple of times when you get to the -for part of it. This will install mscorefonts, and just about everything else you need to play dvd`s, mp3`s etc.

Or follow this advice (yes pooky... google works..) http://www.dementedkitty.com/index.php/2007/12/27/new_fonts_in_ubuntu_linux

1. Find the font you like and download the .ttf file. Select the .tff files and copy (ctrl+c) them to the clipboard.

2. Save anything you are working on and close all open applications.

3. Open your home folder with Nautilus (default file manager on default Ubuntu installations)

4. Click the View menu option and select Show Hidden Files.

5. Look for a folder named .fonts. Open that folder and paste (ctrl+v) the previously copied .ttf files into the .fonts folder.

6. Open your terminal of choice. On default Ubuntu installations the gnome-terminal is available under the main Applications > Accessories menu. Type of copy+paste the following and then enter your superuser password:

sudo fc-cache -f

7. Allow your computer a few minutes to rebuild the fonts cache. A new terminal line with your username prompt will appear when the fonts cache is rebuilt.
