Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-14
Severity: important


I tried to print, but got a mostly blank document.  All I got
was table lines.  Apparently, a font direcotry is off limits for me:

ls -l /var/cache/fonts/pk/esphi/jknappen/ec/ -d
drwxrwsr-t 2 root users 4096 2005-12-07 23:08

I am not in the group "users", the group exists on the system but is empty.
I can of course add people to the group, but I think adding _everyone_
to some group is useless.  It is then better to chmod o+rw on that
directory, which is my suggested fix. Latex must be available for
every user.

Hi,

the problems with permissions in font directories have been solved by a
completely new font caching setup in tex-common_0.25, so this bug can be
closed. 

Regards, Frank
