Thanks for the clear instructions. I sorta had TrueType stuff working,
but I think I've got stuff totally sorted now.

One wibble, however:

You've got a couple typos on that last line; I rewrote it like so:

        perl -e 'open X , "fonts.scale" or die; $n = <X>;
        while(<X>) { /^(\S+\.ttf)/; unshift @{$h{$1}} , $_; }
        open O , ">fonts.scale" or die; 
        print O $n; print O @{$h{$_}} foreach ( sort keys %h )'

but then this isn't golf. 8^)=  The important thing is to remove the 3
'%' from the final line.

Oh, and one more thing -- instead of saying:

>  Download mkfontalias.py from Kristin's site

why not give the URL? <URL:http://home.c2i.net/dark/mkfontalias.py>

Thanks again for the good work, Brad.

john.
