Hi Janyne, If you've successfuly ran your true-types in XFS you're mostly done. Unfortunately, not all applications rely on the underlying XFS font system, StarOffice (or OpenOffice) is no exception.
I have added TTFs to OpenOffice 1.0 and 641d, i'm not sure if it works for your StarOffice version (if it doesn't, an uprade is worth the try ;-) ). Adding fonts is fairly straightforward: 1. login as root 2. Run the printer administration program, 'spadmin' from your StarOffice installation directory (if you're wondering why they placed the font installation here, your guess is as good as mine) 3. click on the 'fonts' button, specify your TTFs path and add the fonts. - you're in business :-) Hope this helps, Phil Janyne Kizer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> quoted last 7/1/02 10:09:38 PM as follows: > >I have installed the TrueType fonts from >http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm on my RH 7.2 >system.
