Re: [libreoffice-users] Does Libre Office have its own distinct setoffonts?

I use to go online to the different free font sites [googled them]

Now I have over 14 GB worth and over 100,000 font files.  Every so often 
I do some more sorting to the different style and type folders [i.e. 
handwriting, holiday, etc.].  The standard Serif and San-serif fonts are 
sorted by name.

There are many, many, free font sites out there.  Some better than 
others.  Right now I tend to look for ones for special usage, like 
letters made out of bones, or rope, or look like wood.  That sort of 
thing, when I need something I do not have.  I have a large collection 
of handwriting ones.  Alway want to find better ones for different types 
of documents.  I currently have over 10,000 handwritten, script, 
calligraphy, and brush type.
