There are some useable TrueType fonts in
/usr/local/staroffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype. However, these are
useable when StarOffice isn't running with the current installation
procedure.
To fix this:
1) add a BUILD_DEPENDS for ttmkfdir (it's in ports/x11-fonts);
2) run ttmkfdir post-install to generate a fonts.dir file;
3) optionally, copy the fonts.dir file to fonts.scale;
4) suggest in the pkg-message that the installer should either:
a) add /usr/local/staroffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype to their
font paths by editing XF86Config; OR
b) run xset to add the font path and re-hash the fonts;
See the AbiWord port for some ideas.

MacroHard -- the perfection of form over
substance, marketing over
performance, and greed over
design . . .
P.S. StarOffice 6.0 seems to install o.k (one share library fails to
register during the -net install), but freezes on the splash screen on
startup. The resulting soffice.bin zombie appears totally
unkillable--I've had to reboot.
