There was a response to a similar question recently: -------------------------- Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 12:28:19 +0200 From: Christof Pintaske - Sun Germany - ham02 - Hamburg <Christof.Pintaske@sun.com> Subject: Re: [discuss] Font Display in OpenOffice 1.01 To: discuss@openoffice.org [...] Fonts that are available through the XWindow API are "not printable" and are not available for documents that do formatting for the printer (OpenOffice.org Writer being the most prominent example). Please try to create a new HTML document and check the Font list box again. The font rendering stuff and the font selection stuff has not been changed between release 1.0 and 1.0.1. It's just that issue 4366 has been fixed. If you think a specific font does not appear as it should please describe precisely what font it is, where it is located and how it can be accessed (filesystem, filesystem + fontserver, XServer only, ...) otherwise we are restricted to pure guessing mode.
