charter font in debian's openoffice.org1.1
Hi,
recentfly upgraded to OOo1.1 using the relativley new sid
debs. New version is lovely -- well-done! -- but I've lost some fonts
and don't understand how to get them back. The README.Debian states
the following:
Missing fonts on upgrade to 1.1.0
---------------------------------
As part of the integration of Ximian's work, openoffice now uses
fontconfig to
determine the installed fonts on your system. Fonts that were
installed using
the 'spadmin' tool in a non-standard directory are no longer
supported. You
should move those fonts to a directory that fontconfig knows about,
such as
~/.fonts or /usr/share/fonts. The same applies if you made use of
special
paths with SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE.
ok... but where do I find the fonts that spadmin installed? the main
one I'm worried about is charter, which I use 'cause it's pretty,
fairly straightforward, and has a useful italics mode (thhe bittstream
vera serif, which is the default, doesn't). The only filles named
"charter""" i cna find are in
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter
how do I "move" them to .fonts, as the readme suggests, or fix the
probem otherwise?
thanks,
matt
