Arial font in OpenOffice.org

[iamroot]

Is there any way that I can get Times New Roman and Arial into OpenOffice.org? My school requires all documents to be in that font. Thanks.

Don't you have the msttfonts installed?

I already have that package installed.

If it doesn't come with that package then you can install it manually by making a new dir in /usr/share/fonts/ -something like my-fonts/ and copying the Arial font files there, then running as root "fc-cache -v -f".

I'm probably not allowed to attach those files here but I would if it's ok, I have those fonts. Copied them from Windows the last time I was on it - up yours MS! :D

I've stuffed the MS fonts into the font:/// directory and they work just fine=)

Then they should show up in OpenOffice, they do here. On the other hand, I'm not using the Fedora supplied version of OpenOffice :) but that shouldn't make a difference! As root do:

fc-cache -v -f
