Hi,

No, I have been trying with open office too. Problem is in istallation 
of fonts. I have followed the below instruction,


        Telling XWindows about your fonts


        Now, enter the following commands in sequence from a terminal
        window:

cd /usr/local/fonts/ttf
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir 


          If you have chkfontpath


          RedHat users can enter the following command to add the directory:

chkfontpath -a /usr/local/fonts/ttf


          If you don't have chkfontpath

If you don't have the chkfontpath command, you will have to edit the 
file /etc/X11/xfs/config (or /etc/X11/fs/config), find the line which 
starts with "catalog=", and add your directory at the end of the list, 
separated by a comma.

After doing the above when I type

chkfontpath -a /usr/local/fonts/ttf

It says command not found
