Installing non-standard fonts in FC4...and using Word style sheets in Open Office?

[thesun]

I work for a company (publishing) which requires us to write using specific Word macros and a specific, company-created font. I hate having to reboot my system into WindozeXP and am hoping to install this in my Fedora Core 4 system and write with Open Office instead. Is this possible? Can I install these fonts and use this Macro system?

(I realize this is half an Open Office question...but I'm just wondering what the procedure is for installing these fonts in FC4. Detailed instruction, including commands if possible, would be very helpful. I have the font file and a Word Style Sheet...Any ideas?)

Many thanks!

From the Open Office help files
Adding Fonts
You can integrate additional fonts in the OpenOffice.org software. Fonts which you integrate are available exclusively to the OpenOffice.org software and can be used with various Xservers without your having to install them there. To make the fonts available to other programs as well, proceed as usual by adding the fonts to your Xserver. The OpenOffice.org software can display and print out PostScript Type1 fonts as well as TrueType fonts (including TrueType Collections).
To integrate additional fonts in the OpenOffice.org software, proceed as follows:
1.Go to the {install_path}/program directory.
2.Enter: ./spadmin
3.Click Fonts.
4.The dialog lists all fonts added for the OpenOffice.org software. You can select and remove fonts using the Remove button or add new fonts with the Add button.
5.Click Add. The Add Fonts dialog appears.
6.Enter the directory from which you want to add the fonts. Press the ... button and select the directory from the path selection dialog or enter the directory directly.
7.A list of the fonts from this directory appears. Select the fonts you want to add. To add all the fonts, click Select All.
8.With the Create soft links only check box you can determine whether the fonts are to be copied into the OpenOffice.org directory or only symbolic links are to be created there. If the fonts to be added are on a data medium that is not always available (such as a CD-ROM), you must copy the fonts.
9.Click OK. The fonts will now be added.
In the case of a server installation, the fonts are installed in that installation if possible. If the user has no write access rights, the fonts will be installed in the corresponding user installation so that only the user who installed them can access them.
Deleting Fonts
To delete fonts, proceed as follows:
1.Start spadmin.
2.Click Fonts.
3.All fonts added to the OpenOffice.org software are listed in the dialog that now appears. Select the fonts you want to delete and click Delete.
You can delete only the fonts that have been added for the OpenOffice.org software.
hope this helps
