RH 8 font problem

[Aaron Grewell]

Tim, I think you're overthinking this.  Here's what I did to add all the
TTF's from my Windows box:

1) Copy all .ttf files to ~/.fonts
2) Logout and log back in to restart the font server
3) Run oopadmin and add ~/.fonts and all its contents into OO.

Done.

HTH,
-Aaron
