[NTLUG:Discuss] OT OOo font question

[Fred James]

All
OOo 2.2.1
Mandriva 2008
... Oops, never mind, I think just I answered my own question ...
Is it true that at some point "Arial" was dropped from the font list?  Que?
Resulting in old OOo documents still having Arial (although not 
selectable from the font list) if that is the font that was used 
originally, but otherwise not?  Or have I got that wrong, too?
Thanks
Regards
Fred James
