No, as I explained in my last mail, you can use /usr/share/fonts
on SuSE Linux as well if you like. Or any of the other directories
listed at the top of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Or any subdirectory of
one of these directories.

Note that Hermann is using SuSE 9.1, which is rather old and therefore
has an older version of OpenOffice. FC4 and SuSE 9.3 have a newer
OpenOffice. I didn't test whether this makes a difference though,
somehow I doubt it.

No, FreeSans and FreeSerif are fonts from a different project, see:

 http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/freefont/

These fonts also have Hebrew glyphs but they are less beautiful than
the culmus fonts.
