I hope I get this right :)

The only font I've added thus far to SO is zurich.  I copied six files from my
Corel Draw CD rom having names zurch?? .afm and .pfb, making sure to make the
file names lower case.  I copied them to /home/kk/Office51/fonts/type1/.  {I
just used gfontview to look at the fonts on the CD and maybe there are other
files I should copy!}.  As I don't intend to add a lot of fonts, this seems
reasonable to me.

I then very carefully followed the instructions in setup.pdf and it seems to
have worked.

I haven't been doing word processing lately and have played with this only a
little.  I have now exhaused my knowledge of this subject.
