Re: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

Add them to /home/<user>/.fonts

Note the dot on .../.fonts, so its a hidden file. You see it on your home folder by pressing ctrl+H

Enjoy

Subject: [libreoffice-users] add ttf fonts to LibreOffice

My question is really basic, but I couldn't find anything about it, sorry.     
So here goes.

Adding fonts to the windows version of LE is simple, just add them to the
"c:/windows/fonts" folder (or install via control panel), and you can use
them in LE just as in any other applications.
But in Linux (I'm using Linux Mint 11 x64) I can't figure out how to get it
done.

*what I have tried:*
1) copied the fonts to "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/windows-fonts", updated
the font cache doing sudo fc-cache -fv, they show up using fc-list, but they
didn't show up in LibreOffice.
2) opened the font in font viewer and clicked install, same as above.

I'd prefer a solution that can be automated (I'm about to install hundreds
of fonts), but everything is appreciated.

Thank you!
