It would seem that I have managed to install most of Corel Perfect
Office 2000 under Mandrake 7.2. When I execute wordperfect, as a user, I
get the following error messages:

   No running font server was detected.
   I will try to start a font server on this host
   and then wait for 30 seconds to allow the
   font server to start up.

followed 30 seconds later by:

   Unable to add FonTastic font server to the font path.
   The font server is probably not installed or not running.
   Correct the problem and try again.

The problem is clear enough. . . I am not running FonTastic, but it is
not clear how to correct the problem. Interestingly, when I did a:

   locate fontastic

I get:

   /usr/include/wine-wpo2000/fontastic

This turns out to be an empty folder, hence the problem. 

I attempted to do a reinstall, and this time I noticed the error
messages on the console (there are no errors reported to the user nor in
the install file). They read:

file /etc/init.d from install of fonttastic-glibc-2.1-2000.03.13.12.01-1
conflicts with file from package initscripts-5.27-37mdk

file /etc/init.d/fonttastic from install of

file /etc/rc.d/init.d/fonttastic from install of

fonttastic-glibc-2.1-2000.03.13.12.01-1                          

Has anybody managed to install Perfect Office 2000? Any hints would be
appreciated.  John T
