I am here on leap 42.1, KDE 5, Libre Office Version: 5.1.3.2
Most of my system-wide installed fonts do not appear in the fonts dialog of libreOffice. I can use all fonts in Gimp, Digikam etc., but not in libreOffice.
That's weird. My guess would be that LO has a font cache somewhere. Look for a font that it finds and then run
grep -ri fontname .config/libreoffice/
from the command line. If it finds a match, rename the file to "filename.bak" and start LO. That should recreate the cache.
The command line tool "xlsfonts" can list all the fonts:
xlsfonts | less
Type "/fontname" to search for a font name.

Thank you Aaron,
I tried your suggestions but it did not help :-( . But while searching the font files to rename one, I found that the fonts that libreOffice does not see are *.pfb files.
Ah, yes. Type 1 are PostScript fonts. They are often used for professional typesetting but a lot of OpenSource software can't use them directly (you need a PostScript interpreter).
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9322635/how-can-i-convert-postscript-type... has a couple of solutions for Windows and Mac. The two online resources (first comment and last answer) might work for you.

Thanks again Aaron. The online-tool did not work (wants me to upload a ttf-file...), anyway it would be a lot of work to upload some hundreds of fonts file by file :-) But I installed the demo version of TransType for windows http://www.fontlab.com/font-converter/transtype/ in virtual-box/win xp, and could convert all files in one batch within seconds. They now appear and can be used in libreOffice. Thanks for the link and the help!
