[lug] TrueType Fonts RPM

[Rob Riggs]

Odd. I made the package specifically for RH6.2 (though it also works
perfectly fine on RH7) and have installed it many times. I've never
seen that error before -- nor has it ever been reported before. I am
not sure why one would get that "error opening ..." error, unless the
RPM was unable to invoke ttmkfdir to create the file (though you did
say that it existed).

Sorry... but I've got no answers for you on that one.
