Problem adding fonts to impress

Asked by Anders Wallenquist

I have two boxes with Ubuntu 7.10. On both machines I have installed additional fonts "Luxi Serif" in this case. Presentations made on the first machine using this font works fine, but when opening the same presentation on the other machine Impress pretends it is using "Luxi Serif" but don't. The font that is really used is Times New Roman, and when adding new text to the presentation "Luxi Serif" are not listed in the font dialogue.

On both machines "Luxi Serif" is found in the Gnome font dialogue (Nautlius and other Gnome applications).

Installation is made by copying the font-files both to ~/.fonts and /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts and run sudo fc-cache -f -v and fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts (When OpenOffice didnt recognise the font in the .fonts-catalog I installed it in the main-catalog)

You could try to open "fonts:///" with nautilus and save the font there. Might help, but I'm not sure!

Yes I've tried that, and the font does work in Gnome, but does not appear in Impress.

Hm. You're talking about OpenOffice.org Impress, right?
Strange. Maybe you should file a bug report. I think the guys can help you because this is realy strange if you did the same things on two machines and one worked and the other no.

Can you help with this problem?
