Using Arial Narrow in OpenOffice.org



Is it presently possible to use the "Arial Narrow" font in Open Office
under sid?

It appears to be installed ok (along with Arial):

$ fc-list :family=Arial
Arial,Arial Narrow:style=Narrow,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Regular,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta
Arial:style=Bold Italic,Negreta cursiva,tučné kurzíva,fed kursiv,Fett Kursiv,Έντονα Πλάγια,Negrita Cursiva,Lihavoitu Kursivoi,Gras Italique,Félkövér dőlt,Grassetto Corsivo,Vet Cursief,Halvfet Kursiv,Pogrubiona kursywa,Negrito Itálico,Полужирный Курсив,Tučná kurzíva,Fet Kursiv,Kalın İtalik,Krepko poševno,nghiêng đậm,Lodi etzana

My Open Office Font Dialog offers me the follow Faces for the Arial
family (Arial Narrow is not present as a stand-alone family - I gather
this is the New World Order):

    Narrow,Normal,Cursiva,Italic,Bold,Negreta,Bold Italic,Negreta Cursiva

    (Yes my locale is correctly set, and yes something is screwed up with
    languages somewhere in font-config or openoffice)

But Selecting the Narrow Style has no effect, Arial Normal is used. I
document from Word which uses Arial Narrow is also not rendered
correctly.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I need to print some lecture notes
which use Arial Narrow and don't want to have to reformat an entire
document in a stupid word processor.


[For comparison, Inkscape offers me the following styles for Arial:
Regular, Condensed, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic. Scribus offers me:
Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Narrow, Narrow (ArialNarrow),
Narrow (ArialNarrow-Italic), Narrow (ArialNarrow-BoldItalic). Ironically
the Narrow style with nothing in parentheses is Arial Narrow Bold...]
