Yeah, if someone knows this one, I'm interested, too.  The biggest problem that
I have is powerpoint presentations beween Star Office and MS PPT.  Star Office
uses 'Starbats' for Zapf Dingbats and MS uses Wing Dings.  Most annoying 'cuz a
lot of the default Star Office presentation formats use Starbats.  I'd like to
be able to port them back and forth.

I know that Mandrake 8.0 has a font importing system.  In fact, if it finds
/mnt/windows, it will automatically suck in the fonts from the Windows sources
without complaint.  I suspect that you'd have to copy all of the fonts from an
MS system to Linux and then run some similar kind of importing tool.  I don't
know where Star Office gets it's fonts, though.  I'll have to look into that.

Cheers!
