Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fonts: Not all installed fonts are listen at font selection drop list

As the original poster, including the misspelled title, the problem was 
not the drop down menu on the toolbar, but the menu with highlighting 
and right-clicking to choose the font for that section.  That is where 
only the first 50, 75, or whatever, fonts show up and the rest are not 
shown at all.

So for the original posting, it is not solved.  For the Type-1 fonts 
issue you seemed to have it may have been solved, but not of the 
original question/issue.
