I found it, compiled it with no options, and am using it to scan fonts in my /usr/share/fonts directory. The first use was very slow. Apparently it did some pump-priming step in the background. After that it ran at normal speed. I have copied some of the pertinent TeX, Ghostscript etc. fonts over to /usr/share/fonts/(etc) This makes them available to Scribus as well as xetex. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.lybrary.com/create-book-covers-with-scribus-p-74177.html The Short List of Publishing and marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/shortlist.html
