Neither :-) As detailed in issue 93672 (see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=93672 ) the "fonts" button is not shown anymore if your system works with fontconfig (like most modern Unix versions do). To add fonts please add them to your system, OOo will use them, too. Depending on your actual system the tool to install fonts may vary, however fontconfig's configuration file should be /etc/fonts/fonts.conf; in there you can find the directories where fonts are stored. Please find more fontconfig documentation here http://www.fontconfig.org/wiki/ Kind regards, pl -- "If the designers of X-window built cars, there would be no fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same principles -- but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful feature, that." -- From the programming notebooks of a heretic, 1990. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

I guess the last gripe would be, I looked in all the help menu's and couldn't find anything related to adding additional fonts. Shouldn't there be at least one line to point out how in the help menu's? Paul
