[I'm sorry if this is a repeat; NG crashed on me this morning, so I  
doubt my earlier post got out]

Thanks to all the people who posted or emailed in response to my post  
on problems installing fonts.

This seems to work:

As root
1. place fonts in /LocalLibrary/Fonts
2. run buildafmdir /LocalLibrary/Fonts
3. run cacheAFMData /LocalLibrary/Fonts
4. make sure all the permissions are set so that everybody can read  
both the .font file _and_ the files inside the .font folder; for  
example:
	drwxr-xr-x  2 root        1024 Feb  8  1992 Alison.font/
and
	-rw-r--r--  1 root       48588 Jan  8  1992 Alison
	-rw-r--r--  1 root        6597 Oct  8 00:28 Alison.afm
	-rw-r-----  1 root         979 Jan  8  1992 Alison.readme
The following ensures that the permissions are correct:
	chmod uog+r /LocalApps/Fonts/*.font/*

You can also do all this as yourself, if you place the fonts in  
~/Library/Fonts.

The permissions problem in Step 4 in particular seems to have caused  
a lot of grief (it was my problem).

In general, I remain of the opinion that a 4-step process involving  
command-line operations simply isn't the NeXTSTEP way of doing  
things.
