how do I move them to .fonts, as the readme suggests, or fix the

Got me (?). I haven't lost any fonts but I have been running the
unstable version for months.
thx for the help... unfortunately my amateurish attempts to fix the
problem have led to a fatal problem, and now I can no longer start the
defaulty OOo installation anymore. I copied some font files from
/usr/share/texmf/ to /usr/share/fonts, then deleted them, not
realizing that OOo was still starting up; and now OO crashes on
opening after stalling for some time with the status bar at about
50%.
strace gives the following output pre-crash:

does this look at all intelligible to anyone? i'm afraid I don't know

thanks for your help!!

ps -- other versionso f OOo -- in particular a build of 680 which I
got direct from the website -- still run fine. I assume something is
screwed up with the debian installation, but I apt-get remove --purged
the ooo files and I still have the same problem.
thanks much,
matt
