I copied all the fonts & dir's under /usr/share/fonts to ~/.fonts with no 
luck.

I also created a symbolic link in the ~/.openoffice.org2.0/user directory that 
points to ~/.fonts with no luck there either...


However I'm not so sure that the real issue isn't in the available fonmts 
themselves. I'm assuming that the files I copied from /usr/share/fonts and 
from ~/.fonts on the old SuSE drive actually contain the fonts I'm looking 
for.  Maybe those directories only contained default fonts that I already 
have.

Any thoughts?
