Comment 70 for bug 464422

Hello Jean Baptiste,

Thanks very much for this simple but excellent solution.
I tried several of the previous offered solutions but they all did not
work. Beside that I did understand most of them.
I ran your commands and now I've got the fonts at my disposal.
Greetings,

Joop van Doorne
