[LUG] Fonts and X server / Open office

[Kevin Lucas <kevin.lucas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.

Can anyone throw some light on a machine FC6 with openoffice 2.0.4 

I have (I thought) installed a set of Fonts for the system in 
/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF  which when I open Writer they are all Listed but the 
preview is no showing and the Fonts just display ( and print) all the same!

the output from 
> # xset -q
> Keyboard Control:
>   auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000002
>   auto repeat delay:  500    repeat rate:  30
>   auto repeating keys:  00ffffffdffffbbf

I dont know if the FontCache Extension is important?
the output from 

> chkfontpath
> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled
> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled
> /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
> /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
> /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF
> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
I have also put the same fonts in 

/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/fonts/truetype but still no joy!  

Any Ideas?

Kevin.
