Actually, Star Office can also import any fonts on a readable filesystem, using the spadmin program (in the same directory as the soffice binary). I imported all my Windows fonts in a matter of seconds, and all it did was make soft links to the fonts on the fat32 partition. You can also do a real copy of fonts, but I didn't see the point. The advantage of doing this is that in X, I only imported a few select fonts with DrakFont (fewer fonts keeps memory use down with xfs). But with StarOffice6.0, I grabbed every one I had.
