if you start Writer and the then install some fonts the fonts aren't available in Writer before you shut down Writer and start it again. This is not true for other word processors. oo644m7
Henrik, thank you for using and supporting OOo. Does this problem still exist in 1.1 Beta 2?
yes. problem is still there in 644m11 to reproduce: start writer install font from windows control panel try to select newly installed font from within writer it's not there if you do the same thing in Word, the font is there the minut you install it.

I think it is normal behaviour. not a defect You normally need to close the application which will using that application/font.

In Microsoft Office it works! It's normal behaviour on all Windows programs not to restart. Tested with MS Office and Paint Shop Pro at you dont need to restart these. The fonts are just suddenly there
utomo i think he ist right, but this will be more a feature than a bug. i commit this with OOo1.1RC5 and reassign it to bh changed issuetype to enhancement changed prio to P4 changed version to OOo1.1RC4
JA->PL: please have a look at this issue
pl->ssa: your code, AFAIK we have a VCL message for that case (although we don't feed it on Unix either).
ssa->hdu: I guess you knew this already....

according to the announcement on releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue will be re-targeted to OOo Later.
