msttcorefonts MS is installed. I tried re-installing it but it made no 
difference. I likewise tried reinstalling defoma and x-ttcidfont-conf, 
with the same stunning lack of effect.


I then noticed that I can't see Arial in OpenOffice either.

xorg.conf didn't contain any FontPath entires so I added the following:

Section "Files"
	FontPath	"var/lib/deforma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection

... but again, it made no difference to either MythTv or OpenOffice.

Ideas?

John
