Yes, there was a small issue, at the start, where the council's heading
was not converting to Open Office. I found another type face (used by
Open Office) which the council could change to. It was virtually
identical but had a different name. Open Office is certainly opening all
the correspondence they need to read.


Fonts are provided by the OS, not the application.


Yes and no. Many apps add to the fonts the OS has, not necessarily in a
public way..


Fonts are often copyright, and buying an app gives you legal access to a
load of new fonts.

Only WinDoze has one font directory, OS-X and Linux have many. Soem apps
will use just the one..
