OpenOffice 2.0 not recognizing Microsoft fonts?

[Lars Jung]

Hi,

I have the same problem...

Have copied the fonts to the folder /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.win and added 
this folder to the xfs config file. The folder was scanned and added to the 
font-folder-list. It is also listed by "chkfontpath -l".
But the fonts are not available in any program...
fc-cache didn't changed the situation...

I had exactly the same problem when i installed FC3. After a while it finaly 
worked, but I don't know why...

Any suggestions very welcome
Thx, Lars
