OpenOffice and fonts

Downloaded OpenOffice today. Everything works fine and all, except the fonts. For some reason, I only have access to the bundled fonts in OO. I can’t choose all my other fonts that I have on my computer (OS X). Why is this and how do I solve it?

Shucks! I find a post that applies to me and there have been no responses …

About adding fonts to OpenOffice:

About OpenOffice and native OS X fonts, including a patent owned by Apple that prevents them from using some features of the fonts:

Thanks a lot - exactly what I was looking for!!
