I went to their signup page - it SAYS they require Windoze AND M$ Internet Exploder to use it (can browse with Netscape but needs M$IE to connect - does this sound dumb? or dumber?) But I sent a note to FreeI (they announced Mac support, I asked them "How about Linux?"), and they said they are working on it - maybe - and suggested that a little push, something on Slashdot to work up some interest. I quote " If you wish us to be in Linux, please tell your friends, post this email in Slashdot and entreat them to email support@freei.net." So let's go, gang!!!!
Installing fonts on Red Hat 6.1 is ALMOST simple. I put a bunch of TrueType fonts in a directory near the rest of the fonts, executed 2 simple commands, restarted the xfs font server, and there they were (well, I did have to do it as "root" but that's expected). Of course it did take me months to track down the instructions, and to weed out what I needed from 47 variations for 47 different distros... However, I'm not sure if this helped Star Office, which I seldom use. My main purpose was to improve text additions to graphics in The Gimp.
