Sigrid,

   I'll put this in the shell script rather than the default 'soffice' that
seemed to work (it did with OO.o).

If you have them installed using the OS tools, then they should be
available for use with LibO as well. I don't know, what you can try now.
But maybe someone else has an idea.

   Yes, they should all be recognized, but they're not. That's why I ask.
Perhaps someone else can help (off-list will work, too).

It would be helpful if you let us know which distro & version of that
distro you are using. It's also helpful if you can tell us what the font
type is; .ttf, .otf


You might try updating your font cache. On Ubuntu (and Fedora & others)
it is:

$ sudo fc-cache -f -v

Also test to see if the font(s) LO that isn't being picked up gets
picked up from a ~/.fonts folder instead. Copy a particular font that
you can easily recognize to there & then restart LO and see if the font
appears.

I'm sure that you already know that some fonts don't appear according to
the file name... examples:

AmericanTypewriter-Bold.otf
is actually: ITC American Typewriter
ANTQUA.TTF
is actually: Book Antiqua

etc. This has caught me off guard in the past, so if I can't find
American Typwriter, I open the font in either font viewer or fontforge
to find out what the actual font name is. Then check & yep, 'ITC
American Typewriter' is actually there.
