[CLUE-Tech] Conga

[David Willson]

As it turned out, I didn't have to double-install.  I followed the process
mentioned at
http://voidmain.kicks-ass.net/redhat/redhat_8_fonts_adding_truetype.html to
add my Windows TrueType fonts to my Linux installation, and my
Conga-dependent OpenOffice invoices started looking right immediately.  I
did not have to 'spadmin' them into OO.

The path is ${OPEN_OFFICE_PATH}/program/spadmin
