Hmm why the postinst? The link should be created in the rules files I

*NOT* create the necessary symlinks. (Should it do it?)

I guess I had some fonts not installed. After installing all of them I
could compile all but the Arabic.tex file, although I have installed the
font you mention in the source code. Anyway, great work!
