Ed,
I am suitably chastised. I don't think of looking in wikipedia. I read the
man page and did a web search on using fontconfig, but didn't see a
wikipedia link. Sometimes when I'm searching for something duckduckgo brings
up the wikipedia page first thing, but I just don't think of going there
first for anything. Mea culpa!

I had looked at that and read 'don't edit this!' so I didn't. But just now
I did removing the two obsolete directories (Speedo and cyrillic) and adding
the superfluous TrueType.

OK. I had not run mkfontscale or mkfontdir before.

I combined the options using -frsv; don't know if they must be separate.
Well, having now done all this, the SBo directory and package name is no
longer seen on the page. And I still cannot see text on the Washington DOE's
database page. Guess I'll need to spend evenings this week trying to fix
whatever's broken.
What a mess!
Thanks,
Rich
