Here you see a text in Candara, and Candara in the toolbar box but not on the list of available fonts.

Problem description: I totally re-installed 64-bit Linux Mint 11. Then I followed my usual procedure for adding the fonts I have accumulated over the years. I copied the fonts to usr/share/fonts/truetype and then did sudo fc-cache -fv. But the fonts did not show up in Writer's toolbar list. (I also tried using the .fonts folder, but that doesn't work either.)

Although the fonts don't appear in the toolbar list and I can't get use them by choosing from the list, at least some of them appear to be installed. For example, if I use a previously set-up template that uses Candara, when I type the characters come out in Candara (I compared them carefully with an online version) and, in addition, the name Candara shows in the toolbar, even though when I open the list it it not there.

If you compare the word Candara here with an authentic Candara you see that this is indeed Candara. So I've got the font installed, but it cannot be chosen from the toolbar list.
