Just my 2 cents. Of the packages H.S has installed, I have only the
xfs installed. I just checked and I can see, and print, Arial and the
Bitstream Vera Charter in bold here (OO version 1.1.2). I am not
finished setting up this box so don't have truetype fonts installed,
So I doubt that is the problem.
Sorry I don't have the answer to your problem.

Plug-and-Play is really nice,
unfortunately it only works 50% of the time. To be specific the
"Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
