[opensuse] Problems with URW Bookman Font

I have been fighting for awhile to get the URW bookman font to appear in LibreOffice. This appear in the previous OpenSUSE 12.1 but not in 12.2. I found out the following: 1. URW fonts are from ghostscript 2. there is no link between /usr/share/fonts. You can get it to work by executing the following command in /usr/share/fonts: ln -s ../ghostscript/fonts URW Is this new behavior by design or an oversight? -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
