Oh and aside from not being able to reproduce the same typo twice. I
found out it doesn't follow symlinks either... oddly nor does it seem
to respect bound directories i.e. mount -o bind /usr/share/fonts
/opt/Softimage/XSI_6.5/Application/mainwin/mw/fonts/systemfonts
Either that or it doesn't traverse subdirectories in the fonts directory.
Cheers,
Alan.
