4. ttf-so (Ghostscript -> StarOffice)

This program reads your GhostScript Fontmap file and sets up StarOffice to use the TrueType fonts it lists.

4.1 Author and License

ttf-so was written by Luke Burton ( lrb04@uow.edu.au) and is free for use and modification as long as due credit is given to the original author.

4.2 Requirements

You obviously need Ghostscript and StarOffice! A Perl script so you need to have Perl. Also uses the program ttf2pfa to generate .afm files and another script, afm.pl ( http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/~krinke/starwriterfonts.html), to process the .afm files.

4.3 Bugs

Requires some hand-tweaking, won't be happy with multiple runs. May be otherwise weird.
