    Hi,

    recentfly upgraded to OOo1.1 using the relativley new sid
    debs. New version is lovely -- well-done! -- but I've lost some fonts
    and don't understand how to get them back. The README.Debian states
    the following:

    Missing fonts on upgrade to 1.1.0
    ---------------------------------
    As part of the integration of Ximian's work, openoffice now uses
    fontconfig to
    determine the installed fonts on your system. Fonts that were
    installed using
    the 'spadmin' tool in a non-standard directory are no longer
    supported. You
    should move those fonts to a directory that fontconfig knows about,
    such as
    ~/.fonts or /usr/share/fonts. The same applies if you made use of
    special
    paths with SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE.

    ok... but where do I find the fonts that spadmin installed? the main
    one I'm worried about is charter, which I use 'cause it's pretty,
    fairly straightforward, and has a useful italics mode (thhe bittstream
    vera serif, which is the default, doesn't). The only filles named
    "charter""" i cna find are in
    /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter

    how do I "move" them to .fonts, as the readme suggests, or fix the
    probem otherwise?

    thanks,

    matt
