i looked at the program description and it's just for ttf fonts.  i forgot
to mention in my original post that i need to install type 1 fonts.  i
looked through the font listing in synaptic and did not find a font manager
that would handle type 1 and true type fonts.

i played around with trying to drag and drop all of the fonts (afm, pfm and
pfb) and got an install error on all of the fonts.  then i tried installing
just the pfm files, same thing, then the pfb and same error.  i'm at a
loss.  any other suggestions on installing type one fonts?  true type and
open type should be drag and drop.

cheers,
dwain
