Re: font problems in 1.1.3-7 and 1.1.4-1

[Tomas Davidek <davidek@ipnp.troja.mff.cuni.cz>]

Hello,
  I finally found the problem - is turns out that Microsoft fonts 
(package msttcorefonts) changed the location on the disk, now they are 
fetched to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts. So,
the solution to the problem below is to remove the older directories 
where the former fonts were located, e.g. /usr/local/share/fonts

Hope this helps to someone,

best regards
                   Tomas

P.S: I still wonder how can I get the list of fonts that OpenOffice uses 
? Or - rather - the directories the fonts are searched for ?
