Howto: Adding Postscript-Fonts to X11 and Staroffice 3.1
This documents descibes how I've added Postscript-Fonts to Staroffice.

Yes, you use additional fonts with Staroffice. 
For example COREL-Draw 6 has TYPE1 fonts on the 4th CD.

I've done the following to add fonts:
X11:
1. Get additional Postscript-Fonts and install them in some convenient place
   i.e. /usr/local/lib/fonts/type1
2. Get the perl-scripts from http://goblet.anu.edu.au/~m9305357/type1inst.html
3. change to /usr/local/lib/fonts/type1 and run the program type1inst
4. run the program mkfontdir
5. xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/fonts/type1
6. xset fp rehash

Staroffice:
1. Change to the directory /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/xp3/fontmetrics/ 
   and create symbolic links to the afm-files: 
   ln -s /usr/local/lib/fonts/type1/*.afm .
2. Change to the directory /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/xp3/pssoftfonts/
   and create symbolic links to the pfb-files: 
   ln -s /usr/local/lib/fonts/type1/*.pfb .
3. Add the font-names and -patterns to the file 
   /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/xp3/psstd.fonts as described in 
   /usr/local/lib/fonts/type1/fonts.dir
   Example:
   aachenb.pfb -bitstream-aachen-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
   becomes
   aachenb, -bitstream-aachen-bold-r-normal--%d-%d-%d-%d-p-0-iso8859-1

That's all.
