Pls. report at http://bugzilla.redhat.com For the official OO.o provided builds I can not confirm the findings reported in this issue. I tried various things. I added the fonts to the fontpath via xset fp+ ...; I verified the fonts can actually display correctly with xfd -fn ...; I added the font directory via chkfontpath and verified it was added. I even added the AFM files to /usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/psprint/fontmetric -- just in case. You probably want to abandon using xset and friends on the desktop. I'd suggest you read http://pdx.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2ffontconfig and specifically http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-user.html. You may want to create a ~/.fonts.conf file in your HOME directory (if not already present) as described in the paragraph User configuration file and create a directory ~/.fonts where you put all your pf[a,b] AND afm files. Change into the ~/.fonts directory and run fc-cache . Attention, the . period at the end of the command is important otherwise fc-cache command recoursively indexes your file system. That's it. Now all your desktop applications, OO.o included additionally can access these fonts. chkfontpath -a dir_name as root with a dir_name owned by root, preferably below /usr/share/fonts/ should do the same but system wide. Verify with chkfontpath --list. Make sure to restart xfs (/etc/init.d/xfs restart) and restart your Xserver afterwards. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Fonts which will not import correctly on Oo 2.0 will import correctly to StarOffice 8. There are come cases of fonts, such as Corel Keystroke Normal, that will import and work both on display and printer. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Some additional data:
The documents prints (and PDF exports, etc.) with the sans-serif font as well.
It knows the names, but is getting the glyphs from elsewhere (which is always
the same place or default glyph for each newly installed font). Another thing I
could have mentioned is that if the installed font was italic, the sans-serif
rendering of it is an italic sans-serif. So, whereever the name is kept, it
also knows it is italic, but does not bring in the glyphs.
In this issue, I installed the fonts as root, and could not see them as a mere
mortal user. I verified that the installed font files in
/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/fonts/truetype were indeed readable by a
non-superuser. I also ran oowriter as root, just to make sure there are no
permission issues -- that did not work either.
Then, as a mere mortal user, I ran spadmin and installed the same fonts locally
which put them in /home/user/.openoffice.org2.0/user/fonts/truetype. I notice
in that directory there is no fonts.dir file. I restarted ooffice as: oowriter
{file}. Nothing has changed -- all glyphs are sans-serif.
So, I place a fonts.dir file in the directory (by copying the one from the
OpenOffice.org1.1.4 directory). Result: no change.
I then ran spadmin as root and remove ALL fonts. The result when opening
oowriter as a mortal user -- none, all fonts (supposedly local) appear by name
and are still rendered in the same sans-serif glyphs. The root user only could
see and render the built-in default fonts, as expected.
Since mjneedles suggested there might be differences in installation source, I
will try reinstalling from various sources next, and see if the problem goes
away. Maybe there is a bad build floating around...

In my case, the only difference is that the fonts are all TTF, not Type 1. Same result, though. I did this with several of the snapshot builds. When the Fedora rebuilds came out, and I installed them, the installed fonts showed up, but the rendering was totally incorrect. They looked like monospaced fonts, very ugly. So, I confirm this report.2 - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
