Anyone know anything about openoffice.org?

I'm using openoffice.org 2.0 and am about to smash my keyboard through the monitor trying to get upload a font that I particularly like into it, to no avail. It's called "castle," and I use it for gothic titles and what not,. I have it on disk, but for some reason I can't figure out how to upload it into openoffice, and it's driving me nuts. The help file is about as useful as a refrigerator on Pluto, and I haven't heard back from what passes for tech support.

I'm running Windows XP, by the way. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Don't those things go into your Fonts directory in the Windows folder?

Yeah, if your using windows, upload the font to your c:\windows\fonts directory, and restart openoffice.org

it'll have the font.

Close OO, copy the font to 'C:\Windows\Fonts' folder and restart OO, it should show up in the list of fonts.
EDIT: Damn but that owl was slow with this post. I sent it while there were only 2 posts in this thread.
