[KLUG Members] howto add Arial font to OpenOffice

[Greg Mason]

I used KDE's font import tools, as root, and OpenOffice recognizes them 
(about 200 fonts off a winbloz workstation)

all of the fonts work in OpenOffice. This was done in SuSE 8.0 with KDE 
3.0.3 (i think, was a while ago)

now I'm on KDE 3.1.0, SuSE 8.0, still works. (if KDE had anything to do 
with it after importing the fonts, anyways)

there are some other GUI font importing tools, (one in Mandrake's 
control panel, that even looks at your winbloz volume, and grabs fonts 
automatically from it)

also, just putting the fonts into the default directory for TTF fonts, 
then rebuilding the two files in there (using some command) works too, 
if you wanna do the command-line route.
(i realize this isn't too helpful, but it's the most I could pry out of 
my brain at the moment)

I found howtos very easily by googling around a little bit.
