Thank you Dale for your reply.<br>
<br>
Your 4 steps actually work and that is what i did also. My only problem
was that, when I copied the .ttf files into the new folder (as root),
those files did not have world-readable permission. And that may be the
reason why those fonts did not show up in OpenOffice Writer.<br>
<br>
After changing the permission, everything seems ok now.<br>
<br>
Thanks also to those to have helped.<br>
<br>

All,<br>
<br>
I have a bunch of .ttf files and want to add to Fedora 12 system<br>
(system-wide, not per-user). What is the standard way of adding these<br>
fonts now?<br>
I remember the old way, using ttmkfdir, chkfontpath, fc-cache, etc. but<br>
those packages seem to be obsolete now and they are not even included<br>
with Fedora 12 repos. <br>

What I did (all done as root):<br>
<br>
1. Create a new directory is /usr/share/fonts:<br>
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts<br>
<br>
2. Make sure the directory permissions are the same as other<br>
directories in /usr/share/fonts<br>
# ls -ld /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/<br>
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-12 10:18
/usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/<br>
<br>
3. Move all your extra true type fonts into this directory, and make<br>
sure that the permissions are correct (u=rw,go=r).<br>
<br>
4. I created a fonts.dir and fonts.scale in that directory<br>
using ttmkfdir (I think), but I'm not sure that's necessary.<br>
You probably just need to re-start X and log everyone out/in.<br
