Thank you. That fixed my immediate problem with OpenOffice. However, I
have a few other ttf font files that I installed. Plus, I've installed
the ttf-larabie-* series of true type font packages from debian, which
install themselves into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/larabie-* directories.

I followed the instructions, but my single ttf files in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype and the larabie packages do not get recognized
by my system/defoma. How do I fix that so any TrueType font I have will
be managed and seen correctly?

Thanks in advance.
