    hey wayne, I know you wrote this a while ago, but did you notice if
    you have the charter fonts in that directory? If so, do you think you
    could just send them over to me? then I could try and put them in my
    .fonts directory and see if they show up. I have a
    /usr/lib/openoffice/share/psprrint/etc directory, but charter isn't
    listed there. I really would rather have the font back if I can
    possibly figure out howto get it!
