Can you imagine finding these directions on how to use installed fonts on a

There are in excess of 20k packages in the Debian repositories. None of
them, none, have problems recognizing installed fonts. If you are a systems
programmer and writing programs that cannot manage fonts properly in the OS
for which you are writing, its time to stop. Take up carpentry, or
plumbing.
Um . . . I have a feeling writing vitriolic stuff like this may have a
negative
effect (I speak from experience).
Now; Runrev have been trying to be 'all things to all men' and because of
that have fallen short with Linux fonts . . . well Wolfgang's method
will suffice
until things get sorted out by RunRev.
Oh, by-ther-way, I don't know why carpentry or plumbing should be seen as
somehow inferior to computer programming: having successfully botched
loads of woodwork projects and done some fairly awful plumbing in my time
I will always respect Carpenters and Plumbers. At least with RunRev
programming
there is no risk of burst pipes; just spent about 3 weekends replacing
toilets, sink
U-bends and so on in our country cottage as they all bust during the
freeze last winter
because I had put them in so badly the first time . . . :)
And the lesson of my story is: if you are as bad a plumber as Richmond;
take up
RunRev programming instead!!!!!
