Follow the steps:
1) Install some dependencies using yum
#yum -y install rpm-build cabextract ttmkfdir xorg-x11-xfs
Paul Frields comment that he made a better spec, available here which does no require the chkfontpath dependence.
2) Installing the last dependence not available by yum
#rpm -ivh http://dl.atrpms.net/all/chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc9.i386.rpm
3) Making the msttcorefonts rpm
- Download the file
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
to the folder ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ - cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
- rpmbuild -bb msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
- rpm -ivh ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.src.rpm
- rpm -ivh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
Now just open your openoffice the have fun with the new fonts(TImes new roman, verdana, etc …)

The PreReq dependency on chkfontpath is no longer needed. I have an updated spec here: http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/packages/SPECS/

#rpm -ivh http://dl.atrpms.net/all/chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc9.i386.rpm
^^ that didnt work for me. I replaced it with the line below instead.
#rpm -ivh http://dl.atrpms.net/f11-i386/atrpms/stable/chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc11.i586.rpm
it works. but required me to install
#yum install xorg-x11-xfs*
before it works.
nonetheless, it works.
