Actually fink's recommendations might be a wakeup call that we should consider moving fonts (and maps) to $prefix/share/plplot location for the PLplot package as a whole. Does this make more sense under the FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)? I haven't formed an opinion yet (no time to look into it), but I would appreciate someone investigating this issue. Usually, Debian gets FHS issues right in their packaging policy. What do you do with the fonts and maps, Rafael, for your debian packaging of PLplot? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
