  Sure. Slackware-13.1/32-bit.

[rshepard@salmo ~]$ ls /usr/share/fonts/
100dpi/  ISO8859-2/  PEX/     TrueType/  afms/      encodings/     local/

You might try updating your font cache. On Ubuntu (and Fedora & others)
it is:

  Just did this; no change.

Also test to see if the font(s) LO that isn't being picked up gets picked
up from a ~/.fonts folder instead. Copy a particular font that you can
easily recognize to there & then restart LO and see if the font appears.

  I have no .fonts directory under ~/.

etc. This has caught me off guard in the past, so if I can't find American
Typwriter, I open the font in either font viewer or fontforge to find out
what the actual font name is. Then check & yep, 'ITC American Typewriter'
is actually there.

  I installed a bunch of fonts from a Bitstream cdrom I bought over a decade
ago, and all these fonts have been here for at least that long. My company
logotype is Baker Signet and that's not available in LO; the standard body
text is Bitstream Amerigo, and that is also not seen. Bitstream Charter is
seen, but none of the others. For example, LO shows URW Palladio Latin
(Italic), but not URW Palladio Roman (upright). Shrug. I don't recall having
this issue when I switched to OO.o when WordPerfect/Linux stopped working
when libc5 became libc6 and Novell dropped the application.

Thanks,

Rich
