Hi, Shaun (and James, too),
Thank you. This allowed me to run the conversion which I opted out of
the first time.
I may have a bigger issue than this, though. No system fonts (or any
fonts activated by Suitcase) are available after doing this. I see
mention of "truetype" in the "Contents" within the application, and
since I use only Postscript and OpenType fonts, I'm guessing nothing
was copied or converted.
I also found that there is an updated version of X11 available on the
Apple website, which I'm now downloading. perhaps this will solve the
problem.
Many thanks for your time in replying to my query.

Subject: [users] Fonts in Mac OS X
Hello,
I'm new to OpenOffice. I've just installed the program, but opted to
not "convert" System/open fonts for use in OpenOffice. Is there a
way
to access this option to do it once the application has been
installed?
Since there was no information available about what this option was
for or how it really works, I figured it was safer to bypass it.
Now,
however, none of my activated fonts are available to use (I manage
all fonts via Suitcase, and exercise extreme caution when an
application wants to take over handling typefaces).
The conversion converts some types of fonts and makes some other
types available to OpenOffice.org. The original fonts are not
modified at all. They are only read or copied from their original
location.
The converted fonts are made available in the folders:
/Applications/OpenOffice.org 2.1.app/Contents/MacOS/share/fonts/
truetype
~/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org 2.1/user/fonts/
Inside these folders, you will find a text file with "fondu" in
it's name. Deleting these files will allow you to re-run the font
conversion, if like yourself you declined it the first time, or if
you add some more fonts. After deleting these empty text files,
start OpenOffice.org again.
I hope this answers your questions.
Shaun
