I know this Michael ... and as I said in my mail ... I have a laptop were
everything is OK ... so I have copied the /etc/fonts/* on my PC ... but
without any result ... all my font path seems to be well configured ... if I
make a fc-cache -v -f I saw exactly the same path as I have on my laptop ...
but I haven't got the same fonts ... :o((
