That may not be correct: On one machine I have a collection of about 
5730 fonts (old hobby, long story) and ALL of them are installed using 
rpm or yum in /usr/share/fonts (I built the RPM packages for most of 
them).  I do NOT have a .fonts directory, and LO (just like OOo) sees 
all of them just fine.  They display properly in (for instance) writer, 
and they also print correctly.

I'm on fedora fc15 on that machine, and except for the slightly longer 
loading time (probably due to the ridiculous number of fonts), there 
are no problems at all.

OK there's one - when I tried to print out a "font catalog" last fall, 
I had to break it into multiple chunks.  I don't remember whether it 
was the extremely long time that was needed or if instead it was a SW 
limitation.  But IMNSOHAO anybody doing something like should probably 
not expect it to be just another 'trivial' task anyway.
