Is it listed in 'fc-list'? Many thanks for the reply. I'll start with the OTF fonts. These are installed by referencing them in /home/blaz/.fonts.conf as: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>/home/blaz/fonts/opentypefonts/</dir> </fontconfig> (I have removed all the comments) An example is DIN Engschrift Std or /home/blaz/fonts/opentytpefonts/DINEngschriftStd.otf. These are available to Gnome and KDE programs and Mozilla-Firebird in testing, and they are listed with "fc-list |cut -d : -f 1 | sort | uniq". As are the missing Type 1 fonts. "fc-list |cut -d : -f 1 | sort | uniq | wc" tells me that I have 103 fonts installed, but only ~54 are available for use in OpenOffice. The missing type 1 fonts are made available to fontconfig differently by registering them with defoma (defoma apparently doesn't yet support otf). This involved using defoma-hints to create a hintfile and then "defoma-font register-all hintfile". The fonts subsequently appear as links under alphabetical subdirectories of /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d, to my home directories with the pfb files. The fontconfig.d directory is searched and cached by fontconfig (not sure how it knows about it though). And, the fonts appear in fc-list.
