Can someone point me to a "cookbook" for making OpenOffice Writer
aware of the "standard" Postscript printer fonts?

I've found quite a few postings that somehow relate to the matter,
but none that describes exactly what-all to do, and in what order.

Environment:

  FreeBSD 6.1 on i386
  OpenOffice 2.0.3, built from the FreeBSD "ports collection"
  Apple LaserWriter IIf printer (serial interface)

Audience:

  I am very familiar with Postscript, having worked on the internals
  of a Postscript interpreter for about 3 years (quite a few years
  ago), but I am just getting started with OpenOffice.

Why it matters:

  Due to the serial interface, documents containing font definitions
  take a very long time to transfer to the printer.  A test page,
  containing a short sample of each of the 16 fonts offered in the
  dropdown list, took something like 10 minutes to print, and the
  Cursor and OpenSymbol samples appear to have substituted some
  normal text font in that no special symbols got printed.
