Unless I've totally missed something, to get OOo applications to see the fonts (i.e. in the font selection drop list etc) you need to install them using spadmin. Maybe you can just drop them into the appropriate directory, but I've always assumed that spadmin may do more than just that. I also assume this means that the OOo printing component can then also use them, but I wasn't referring to printing specifically, just to using the fonts in OOo apps.
