Instal them into the opearating system. The OpenOffice will recognise them after a PC reboot.

Note1: There are Free and Open Source fonts and there are Commercial fonts. If you have the installer file and the rights to install then, then you can install them.

Note2: OpenOffice can handle the TrueType fonts only.
The LibreOffice can handle the TrueType and the OpenType fonts too.

Thank you respoding! So I need to hunt up some TrueType fonts and save them to Windows? Or a different program? Sorry, I'm still on a learning curve on this- Do you have any suggestions where I can locate graphics that I can import and use on a document? I really appreciate your time and assistance! Thanks! tommydoc66

If you want to import the images into a document:

From LibreOffice menu:
Insert - Image

From OpenOffice Menu:
Insert - Picture - From file




Use the .jpg or the .png file format images. Never use the .bmp type images: convert them before you insert them into the document.
And always optimize the images before you embed it into a document. Decrease the physical size, the DPI value, the color depth to an optimal value. The huge images consupts too many memory and will slowener the office suite.


But, if you want to import the images into the Gallery of the Office suite - that is an another case.

Yes, you must buy the commercial fonts, or simply download the really free fonts, and must install them on the Windows 10.

The installer of the LibreOffice contains many free and Open Source fonts.
You can download the font set of the LibreOffice separatelly from the PortableApps site:
https://portableapps.com/apps/office/li ... e_portable
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portab ... r=deac-ams

Just unzip them and install them onto the operating system.

Note: the fonts will not be appeared properly in a document what you send to an another person - if he/she have not installed SAME fonts.

Solution:
You can EMBED the used fonts into the document or into the PDF export, but you can embed the fonts only that have the rights for embedding.
