Just copy the file to site-packages.  This problem is fixed in CVS but
with Paul's new font finder hopefully it will soon be a non-issue.

No problem - I want to fix these problems as soon as possible so keep
them coming.  

Did you edit setup.py?  You need to set the flags BUILD_AGG and
BUILD_FONTTOOLS.  If this doesn't do it for you, please post compile
errors or tracebacks.

Thanks for the reminder - it had slipped too low in the pile and I
forgot about it.  It's in now.
