Therefore your answer (and the OP's question) came in faster than I could even ask. This is just to confirm that your suggested changes fixed the problem here. Would it make sense to add a dependency on the fonts to the grace package? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38
