While I'm here, here's a freebie :)
Both StarOffice and OpenOffice ship with a limited set of true-type fonts, but
you can get them to use your drakfont-imported fonts by making the following
change to the soffice startup script (/path/to/staroffice6/program/soffice):
Replace the line:
SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE="$sd_fonts/truetype;$sd_fonts/type1;$sd_fonts/serverfonts;$userinst/user/fonts"
with:
SAL_FONTPATH_PRIVATE="$sd_fonts/truetype;$sd_fonts/type1;$sd_fonts/serverfonts;$userinst/user/fonts;/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont;/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/pcf_drakfont;/usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives;/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western"
