    Hi Anssi,

    First, my apologies to you and the list for the blank message that I
    sent inadvertently just moments ago. Life's hard enough without things
    like that, eh? :-)

    So it's a mess? That's certainly not encouraging. Frankly, I'm a little
    surprized. I'm new to Debian but know that there are a lot of very
    capable people here. I'd have thought that helpful documentation for
    something so closely identified with Debian as it's own font manager
    would be available somewhere. I come away from the various man pages
    utterly confused. Where to start, should it be the programs first, the
    fonts? I'm afraid to tinker for fear I'll hose the fonts that are
    already there and functioning. There's got to be an order to these
    things. I'd volunteer to write a How-To if only I knew How-To. :-)

    Amusingly, I wrote a few weeks ago about fonts and the one kind soul
    that replied referred me in one phrase to Defoma. Maybe it's God
    punishing me. :-)

    Best regards.
