I too have had this problem with FC2. I had some 6000 or so fonts
installed. OOo would not start at all. I removed the fonts; and all is
well now.
I had the same 6000 plus fonts in FC1 too. I expereienced NO such
problems with FC1. OOo couldn't see the fonts in ~/.fonts in FC1; I
wonder if this is an OOo problem?
