5. gs2so (Ghostscript -> StarOffice)

This program reads your GhostScript Fontmap file and produces entries for a StarOffice printer definition file. It is not as complete a solution as ttf-so but may be more suitable for some uses. This is not actually TrueType-specific; it will produce entries for all of your GhostScript fonts, including both TrueType and other fonts.

Note that you will need to set up the psstd.fonts file manually or with another program (tt2so will do it if you use the xfstt font server) and create and munge the .afm files.

5.1 Usage

gs2so Fontmap

The Fontmap file is usually in a location such as /usr/share/ghostscript/5.10/. Output is sent to stdout, insert it into your StarOffice printer definition file (in Office40/xp3/ppds).

5.2 Bugs

None known, but there probably are some.
