Hi, sorry for yet another plea for help on StarOffice 5.2 fonts (being
able to add Windows truetype fonts). I've spent a LOT of time
researching as many newsgroups as possible and find lot's of articles.
Only problem is I can't get any to work.

Some articles recommend xfsft, xfstt, simple tweaks to XF86Config,
FreeBSD, etc.
Many of the articles are too old, links are no longer good, or are
specific to individual Linux types.

I am using SuSE 8.0 Linux, which came bundled with StarOffice 5.2, and
X11R6. I've tried xfsft, xfstt, and tweaks to XF86Config with no luck
in affecting the fonts in StarOffice 5.2.

Anyone recently had any luck with truetype fonts and StarOffice 5.2?
Am I wasting my time with StarOffice 5.2 and purchase StarOffice 7.0?

Thanks for suggestions & help.

Dale
