i used fonty python to "install" some MS Fonts for DTP purpose on my Jaunty box..
the fonts were on a manually mounted Windows System partition.
after restarting the system, this partition obviously didn't automount, which is all good and all correct.

unfortunately, fonty python didn't copy the respective fonts to the system drive or anywhere near into e.g. my homedir/fonts.. instead, the fonts were declared available, so applications tried using them such as firefox, but the ttf files needed to actually use the fonts were on an unmounted drive..

how useless!!!

how can we avoid this kind of nonsense in the future?

after mounting my windows system drive, firefox doesn't have these problems anymore...
