OpenOffice.org's help has the following to say about its usage of fonts.  I am not sure what to make of it.   What I am sure of is that the only change on my system that happened before the fonts started looking different was the update of the X server. Any ideas? <meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Setting up Printer, Fax and Fonts Under UNIX® Based Platforms</title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 (Linux)"> <meta name="CREATED" content="20050106;14373500"> <meta name="CHANGED" content="16010101;0"> <meta name="filename" content="text/common/guide/spadmin"> <style>  </style> <h2><a name="kw68269_3"></a><a name="kw68269_2"></a>Installing Fonts</h2> When you are working with the OpenOffice.org software you might notice that a different number of fonts is provided depending on the document type being used. This is because not all of the fonts can be used in every case. <ul> <li> Therefore, only those fonts will be shown in the font selection box when working with a text document which can also be printed, as it is assumed that you will only want to use those fonts that you can actually have printed on paper. </li> <li> In an HTML document or in online layout, only fonts that are available on screen are offered. </li> <li> On the other hand, when working with spreadsheets and drawings you will be able to use all of the fonts that can be either printed or shown on the screen. </li> </ul> The OpenOffice.org software tries to match the display on screen to the printout (WYSIWYG = what you see is what you get). Possible problems are shown in the bottom of the dialog Format - Character. <h3>Adding Fonts</h3> You can integrate additional fonts in the OpenOffice.org software. Fonts which you integrate are available exclusively to the OpenOffice.org software and can be used with various Xservers without your having to install them there. To make the fonts available to other programs as well, proceed as usual by adding the fonts to your Xserver. The OpenOffice.org software can display and print out PostScript Type1 fonts as well as TrueType fonts (including TrueType Collections). To integrate additional fonts in the OpenOffice.org software, proceed as follows: <ol> <li> Go to the {installpath}/program directory. </li> <li> Enter: ./spadmin </li> <li> Click Fonts. </li> <li> The dialog lists all fonts added for the OpenOffice.org software. You can select and remove fonts using the Remove button or add new fonts with the Add button. </li> <li> Click Add. The Add Fonts dialog appears. </li> <li> Enter the directory from which you want to add the fonts. Press the ... button and select the directory from the path selection dialog or enter the directory directly. </li> <li> A list of the fonts from this directory appears. Select the fonts you want to add. To add all the fonts, click Select All. </li> <li> With the Create soft links only check box you can determine whether the fonts are to be copied into the OpenOffice.org directory or only symbolic links are to be created there. If the fonts to be added are on a data medium that is not always available (such as a CD-ROM), you must copy the fonts. </li> <li> Click OK. The fonts will now be added. </li> </ol> In the case of a Server Installation, the fonts are installed in that installation if possible. If the user has no write access rights, the fonts will be installed in the corresponding Workstation Installation so that only the user who installed them can access them.
