You need Bitstream FaceLift for WordPerfect to integrate the fonts into WP
documents, but if the other fonts you have for Quattro Pro and GEM are
FaceLift fonts, then they can be used.  If they are FontWare fonts, then you
MAY be able to use them.  Here's what the FaceLift for WP 1.5 manual says
about that:

"You can use any Bistream typeface disk with a silver label that has the
Bitstream diamond logo.  FaceLift does not use typefaces that came with your
Fontware Starter Kit.  If your typeface disk doesn't have this silver label,
it cannot work with FaceLift.  You can, however, request an updated typeface
disk.  See Appendix F, 'Ordering Bitstream Typefaces'".

And now, from Appendix F:
"To order Bitstream scalable typefaces,
In North America, call or write:

Bitstream Inc.
215 First Street
Cambridge, MA 02142-1270
ph (1-800-522-FONT)

In Europe, write or fax:

Bitstream B.V.
World Trade Center
Strawinskylaan 605
1077 XX Amsterdam
The Netherlands
ATTN: FaceLift
fax: (31.20.5753009)

Worldwide, fax: (1.617.868.4732)"

(Hmm, looks like a Cambridge number to me....)

Well, I don't know if this helps or not, but you do need to buy FaceLift
specifically for WordPerfect.  If you have other FaceLift fonts (I have some
for Windows, but since I am using ATM, I figured I would throw them in
WPDOS instead. Seems a shame to let them go to waste), you've got a good start.

Hope this helps
