In the process of restoring my original OpenOffice.org configurations I noticed that many of the previously available fonts were not accessible, even though I had reinstalled all of them on 10.2. When I searched for the location of truetype fonts on the system, I found a hodge-podge of various, sometimes duplicated, truetype fonts installed (not soft links) in the following directories: /usr/local/share/fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
The OpenOffice.org configuration is easy to fix, but does anyone know why fonts are scattered around in this apparently disorganized fashion?
10.2 puts fonts in /usr/share/fonts. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is still supported for backwards-compatibility. /usr/local/share/fonts obviously sounds like the logical counterpart to /usr/share/fonts, just like /usr/local/bin is to /usr/bin.
