So yes, this is a reason where the installation script should always finally run a `mkfontdir' there. Jordan? (The distribution itself cannot fix this, since it is not known beforehand which font packages the user is going to install.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
