Fonts problem in LibreOffice

[EdgardL]

Well, that would explain it too. Thanks for your effort, but unfortunatly, my deadline for my project and my aesthetic ambitions can not co-exist. I will for now stop trying to get this font in my project, hand over the result and enjoy my holiday. If I get it back to work as it should, I'll report here.
Thanks again!

I don't know whether the present message will be useful, but I managed to solve a similar problem I encountered three weeks ago. I searched and found an OpenType font file and installed it, using the Font Viewer via Nautilus. Similar behaviour as described by you: the font was visible under The Gimp but not under LibreOffice. However, the font file name lacked the extention ".otf" (a detail I neglected until today). Today, I de-installed the font, changed the file name by appending ".otf" to it and repeated the installation procedure, and this time LibreOffice also notices the presence of the font. Note: I run Ubuntu 11.04 and have LO 3.3.3-1ubuntu2 at this moment.

In Ubuntu 12.04 I did the following:

1. Renamed the Type1 files such that the suffix became lower case, that is, .afm and .pfb rather than .AFM and .PFB.

2. Put the files under /usr/share/fonts/, in my case two levels beneath /usr/share/fonts.

3. Made sure the files were readable

4. Ran "sudo fc-cache -f -v"

Then, I shut down OpenOffice, started it again, and everything worked fine. The Type1 fonts were also visible is LibreOffice.
