Even better than DOC, I can embed the font in a RTF file!  So it
literally can be edited by gedit :)  And the start/stop strings are
fairly straightforward, so its just a question of figuring out what sort
of compression they used.

Here, I will post a working RTF I just finished.  It contains the Arial
Narrow font which, according to Microsoft's own program in XP: "may be
embedded in documents and permanently installed on the remote system"

That sure sounds like a license to redistribute to me! =D

Try generating the TTF with Wine+W97viewer and drop it into ~/.fonts and
see if it works in OpenOffice.org for you :-)
