One clarification. I was able to get the Nimbus SansL font. I followed your directions, but I wasn't sure what font to select as the font to be replaced (there is a "Font" box and a "Replacement Font" box). I selected Nimbus SansL as the replacement font.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
