Brian hello my friend,
If you insist on keeping OpenOffice, that's OK, but if
you want to give SO 6 another try,I have and I can
send it to you, a small batch file that you put it one
level up from the dir where you have new fonts to be
installed in X and executes the mkfontdir and assign
commands automatically, also it creates a
fonts.dir.txt file that the Xfont server can use to
assign the fonts to itself. Using this and following
the method I pointed previously you can get SO6 to run
without no problems and with Winfonts installed and
working perfectly well. I can assure it's not buggy at
all. I have given it very hard times writing my wife's
documents(she's a journalist) and faced no problem at
all, {I had to transform them later in M$Word format,
put graphics in it, many pages,etc...}, so trust me
it's worth it. After getting it to work its rock solid
and stable as no other. If you want details on how to
I'm always available.
Cheers
Dimitris
