The fonts should be listed in the ".font" folder.
I had no such folder, but I found the needed fonts on my
system in
/both/ of the following directories as
‘Georgia_Italic.ttf’ etc.:
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/

In Ubuntu once you get a ttf file just double-click on

The folder was automatically created. Unfortunately, the
fonts still
didn't show up in LibreOffice using the ones in either of
those
directories (unless I need to do something weird like
reboot the machine
for it to take effect).

I don't think this should be necessary given that I already
appear to
have the needed fonts, and in the particular
circumstances—which I won't
go into—it would be awkward for me to ask.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again,

Hi there,
I hope this is the appropriate place to send
support
questions. I
couldn't find anything relevant in the FAQ or
other help
documents. I'm
running LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1
(Build:302), shipped
with Ubuntu 11.10.
I have ttf-mscorefonts-installer set up, and
so fonts like
"Georgia" are
available and can be italicized, etc. However,
I was sent a
large
document that is mostly in Georgia, and looks
fine, but has
problems
with italics and bold. Rather than having the
font set to
"Georgia"
along with the property of being bolded or
italicized, the
document has
the font name in various places itself set to
"Georgia
Italic", "Georgia
Bold", or "Georgia Bold Italic", which it
doesn't
recognize, so renders
in some default sans serif font.
I need to be able to view the file properly
without messing
with its
fonts, as I'm going to record changes to
collaborate with
the author. Is
there some way I can do this? Is a
"replacement table" what
I need? I
wasn't able to figure out how to do it or find
any
documentation that
seemed to work for my version.
Thanks for your help and for maintaining such
a great
product,
Macho
