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?

I don't have such an entry in my 12.2.

I use Bookman Old Style (and have for many years) and this font shows up in LibreOffice (and in System Settings->Fonts) and is located in /usr/share/fonts/truetype.

Like Joseph, my URW Bookman font (and some others) was 'hidden' in /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. These fonts can be added to your available fonts through System Settings

TT Fonts (Install, manage and preview fonts). Click on 'Add', navigate to the ../ghostscript/fonts folder and select everything in the list. Click 'Open'. It will ask you to skip various files, either because they are already on the system, or because the file is not a font. You can also choose whether to make the fonts available system wide or just for you. I chose personal, and found the following fonts had been added:

Century Schoolbook Dingbats Nimbus Mono L Nimbus Roman No9 L Nimbus Sans Nimbus Sans L Condensed Standard Symbols L URW Bookman URW Chancery URW Gothic URW Palladio It is curious that fonts get installed in two different places, and that the 'system' seems unaware of some of them.
