     ~ this is probably easy :

     copy your M$ true-type fonts over to a directory such as :

            /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/

    .........................

     I owe thanks to some kind list-member whose name I have sadly lostm who
    told me :
    ____________

    Try running SuSEconfig and see if that fixes it, otherwise this worked
    in an
    older version of SuSE.

    To reinitialise all your truetypes please follow these steps.

    1) Change to where the fonts are.
        cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype

    2) Determine if there are any files been created for the scaling of the
    ttf's.
            ls -l fonts.s*

    3) Remove all these files.
            rm fonts.s*

    4) Create a new font scale file.
            ttmkfdir | sed s/^[0-9]*// > fonts.scale.myfonts

    5) Now run SuSEconfig.fonts
            /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts

    6) Run xset to reread the font paths
            xset fp rehash

    You should be able to see the fonts with
            xfontsel

    ................................

     Finally, you only need to tell OpenOffice to use the font of your
    choice as default font.
