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.
