It's actually far simpler than that. Every version of OpenOffice since
1.0.1 contains it's own version of freetype and is capable of doing ttf
fonts regardless of whether your system is set up to use them
generally. All you need to do to get openoffice to use ttf fonts is add
the fontpath where the ttf fonts reside to X (using the old corefonts
mechanism -- hopefully they will just move to Xft soo). Here's how I do
it:
1. unpack fonts somewhere
2. go to the directory and do:
ttmkfdir
mkfontdir
xset fp+ `pwd`
3. edit either XF86Config or /etc/X11/fs/config and add that directory
to the fontpath. (because you did an xset, you don't have to restart
anything -- this is for the next time X restarts)
The ttmkfdir, mkfontdir, and xset binaries are part of XFree86 core
package.
Anyway, no spadmin required. As long as you know this, your openoffice
will look good (as Evan can attest).
