Hi Petter,

$ font-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 47, in <module>
     import constants
   File "/usr/share/font-manager/constants.py", line 34, in <module>
     from fontutils import pango_get_sample_string
ImportError: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory

Poop!

I have a bunch of them kicking around in Virtual Machines.
I will grab the missing font as soon as I figure out how
to install it in Linux.  (Have done it before, so it
shouldn't be too hard to figure out again.)

Thank you for helping me with this.
