This script creates broken links when such a font co= ntains a space in its filename, as happens with SketchFlow\ Print.ttf on my= system. This error happens silently, but on the next run of setup.exe, you get a po= stinstall script error resulting from Cygwin=E2=80=99s refusal to chase an = infinite link from Print.ttf to Print.ttf. You also get a broken link to S= ketchFlow, but since it is not a tail-chaser, it doesn=E2=80=99t trigger th= e error. The trivial fix for this is left as an exercise to the packager. :) Incidentally, that font has a web page: http://www.marksimonson.com/notebook/view/sneak-preview-sketchflow-print Kind of an interesting read.
