Having said that, I have, in the meantime, installed libotf and will see = whether that gets me anywhere. On another note, I would like somebody to put in the GNOME FAQ the hint = that removable media are supposed to get mounted on /media. Took me a couple of days to work that out. My /media = faithfully served as a mount point for digital cameras' images and as such the mountpoint on root carried = schg,sunlnk and the /media filesystem was mode 700 for root (underlying directory re-exported read-only via = nullfs :-) (There's a bug in msdosfs label handling which fried GEOM, but that's a = matter for another group ;-) Bernard
