Make Type 1 fonts (.pfb/.pfm) appear in OpenOffice on Ubuntu Linux
type1fm is no longer available in Ubuntu sources. Also LibreOffice 5.3 has dropped support for Type 1 fonts entirely.
When you install Type 1 fonts (like makandra's corporate typeface), they won't show up in OpenOffice. OpenOffice requires some additional files to process them. Stefan Gründel found out what to do Archive .
There is a tool that can produce the missing files:
Copysudo apt-get install t1lib-bin
Now you can create .afm files:
Copycd ~/.fonts type1afm *.pfb
Restart OpenOffice and the fonts should show up.
