Type1 fonts

LibreOffice is not picking up on my Type1 fonts. It is a picky app, needing a couple of different files present for each font. I have all three formats; .afm .pfb and .pfm and have shoved them all over the place but LibreOffice is stubbornly refusing to pick them up.
Not sure if this is a LibreOffice problem or an OS/desktop problem.
Running latest (from Devuan repos) Beowulf, MATE 1.20.4, LibreOffice 6.1.5.2.
I'd like to check where Beowulf/MATE stashes its fonts and LibreOffice expects to find them, so I can check that all three file types are installed in there. Does anybody know the exact path or how to find out?

Re: Type1 fonts

Have you looked at /usr/share/fonts/ ?

I have been Devuanated, and my practice in the art of Devuanism shall continue until my Devuanization is complete. Until then, I will strive to continue in my understanding of Devuanchology, Devuanprocity, and Devuanivity.

Re: Type1 fonts

Libreoffice has dropped Type1 font support a while ago. You need to find replacements, like ErlerDingbats.ttf instead off ZapfDingbats.
