That was a piece of cake and solved the problem. Thanks. I had thought I would have to register the fonts somehow, but simply depositing them was enough.

I haven't tried this because adding the ttf files was simple enough and worked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
