Whilst fonts can be installed specifically for OOo, I recommend
installing them with the rest of the system fonts.

The number of fonts that you _can_ install, depends upon the OS that is
used. Win7 will choke up at 1,000 fonts. The highest number of fonts
I've seen on a Linux box is 250K. I've read about Linux boxes with 1000K
installed fonts, and no reported issues. I've taken BSD boxes up to 100K
fonts, without any apparent issues. I've taken OpenSolaris boxes up to
10K fonts, with no issues. I have no idea if adding more fonts to either
BSD, or OpenSolaris will cause any issues. I've no experience with Macs,
so I don't know what the limit there is.

As a practical matter, once 10K fonts are installed, the biggest issue
is in finding the specific font you want to use.

A good font manager should make that task trivial.
