For Linux users, and some possible use for other OSes: I went through this recently too. In the end I discovered two simple rules- 1) The standard OS fonts are in a different place than the OOo fonts. Obviously OOo, possibly due to cross-platform requirements, makes its own driectory upon installation. 2) Nothing is required to get standard fonts, Adobe, Truetype, to work save placing them in the proper directory. To find out where fonts are put in your flavor of Linux, locate font | grep ttf or some such combination will produce a relatively short list of paths you can choose from.
The standard caveats about fonts, including print drivers, free vs purchased, postscript and so forth apply to OOo just like any other app on your system.
