[wplug] fonts..

[Carl Benedict]

Mike,

    This is a short tutorial I've used in the past to add TTF fonts. 
This has worked very well for me.

http://linux.org.mt/article/ttfonts

I had problems getting new fonts to work with the GIMP 2.0.0 though. 
They changed the core font support to something else, and I didn't look
too much into it yet.  Regardless, this should get other TTF's working
in OO and other apps for you.  If you are looking for fonts, try
http://www.1001freefonts.com - lots of downloadable fonts.
