The directories /usr/local/mathematica/7.0/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1 and .../Fonts/BDF already have a fonts.dir Same with /share/apps/Mathematica7.0/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1 and .../Fonts/BDF On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 4:52 PM, Richardson, Joshua A. < Joshua.Richardson@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Do you need to maybe run 'mkfontdir' and 'xset fp rehash' first?
