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.

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

These fonts can be added to your available fonts through System Settings 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. [..] Bob I have 3 systems now that do not include the URW Bookman font and

Looked for TT Fonts in system setting and it does not show up. I executed fonts-config as root and it seems to configure the other system.

Joseph,

You didn't say which desktop environment you use, and I don't know if it matters. I use KDE4 (I've never used Gnome) and When I open System Settings from the Gecko, I find TT Font Management in the last group, labelled System Administration. You may have to scroll downwards to find it.

By the way, please could you keep the discussion on the mailing list.

Bob

I am running gnome. Evidently the gnome version of yast or system setting does not have it. I will try to see if it shows up on another system that has gnome.

Ah.

Ah. Another reason I chose KDE. ;-) <mini rant> While reminding others to keep the discussion 'on the list,' there is also the netiquette of trimming the text down to just the current part of the discussion. There's really no need to quote so many quotes of quotes of quotes, is there?

Point taken

There is ultimately nothing that can be accomplished in KDE that can't be accomplished in GNOME (or via cli, for that matter.) You don't like GNOME? Don't use it ... that's fair. But disparaging a DE that you seem to not know how to maintain or operate is, well, just uninformed is the polite way of putting it.
