Fonts problem with Openoffice writer

Asked by mikeys

How do I make OpenOffice Writer display and print an imported Word 2000/XP doc with the same Microsoft fonts that are in the original Word doc? I installed the msttcorefonts, bu openoffice does not seem to be using them. Some of the following fonts were used in the original Word doc:

Bernhc.TTF
bmodb___.ttf
btans___.ttf
C39slim.ttf
cgtr45w.ttf
cgtr46w.ttf
cgtr65w.ttf
cgtr66w.ttf
Engr.TTF
gara.ttf
garabd.ttf
garait.ttf
garr66w.ttf
Goudos.TTF
Goudosb.TTF
goudosbi.ttf
Goudosi.TTF
goudyosb.ttf
goudyosi.ttf
goudyosn.ttf
gour66w.ttf
gour85w.ttf
rosewood.ttf
shlyalln.ttf
ShowG.TTF

tt0586m_.ttf
tt0587m_.ttf
tt0593m_.ttf
tt0595m_.ttf
tt0974m_.ttf
tt1045m_.ttf

How do I make Openoffice use these fonts properly?

Copy all windows fonts ypu want into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts, after do:

sudo fc-cache -f -v
