Fonts in Openoffice3 ?

Two Problems:

1. Fonts for Interface.
    I have installed ttf-inconsolata and wqy-zenhei, inconsolata was setted as system-wide font (LXDE). Opened openoffice-writer, the font for menu is not ttf-inconsolata. I guess it looks like Sans. How can I change it to inconsolata ?

2. Fonts for Content.
    I found there are only 3 types of fonts can be used: wqy-zenhei, wqy-zenhei-mono, opensymbles. In fact, I have serveral more fonts than 3 in my system, such as Sans, Monospace. How can I add these fonts to Openoffice, and they are just can be used by myself (not system-wide) ?
    How can I add additional fonts, such as Times New Roman ?

  I have searched openoffice wiki, but only openoffice2 and 1 have resources, no for openoffice3.

PS:
  Some said that may due to xorg.conf, so follow is mine:

Re: Fonts in Openoffice3 ?

under /usr/share/fonts create a directory with the name of your choice (say my fonts)  copy all your font files (*.ttf) to this folder and refresh the font cache (fc-cache -f). Now all the fonts are available for your applications. To change fonts in LXDE use obconf or appearance option.

Re: Fonts in Openoffice3 ?

Yes, but I guess /usr/share/fonts is system-wide. Can I do some under my home ?
