That block of reports seems to be about Type 1 fonts not being recognized under MacOSX.

This one is about Type 1 fonts under Linux not recognized without afms present and it seems a little uncertain if that's the MacOSX issue as well The old add-fonts stuff in spadmin wouldn't have had any effect on either of those two issues.
but note that this didn't used to be a requirement, before the switch to CUPS printing was made - previously, Type1 fonts were recognized in OOo "automagically".
I don't see a connection between Type1 fonts not being recognized on MacOSX and CUPS printing. Either way spadmin wouldn't help. C.
