Merde!  This really fantastic sort of stuff is part of what puts 
ordinary people off Linux.

This is, at least for Ubuntu, only partly true.

I created a directory call 'Fonts' in my Home directory; Open Office 
recognises any font
popped in there without and fancy cache stuff . . .  Wouldn't it be 
lovely if  that were possible
for RunRev and RunRev derived standalone.
