T1fonts-update advice

[Duncan Roe]

Suggest you read the man pages in that advice anyway.
Is the environment variable LOAD_LIBRARY_PATH? Please specify in future.
Perhaps your /etc/ld.so.conf doesn't include /usr/local/lib? (if it doesn't
exist yet, that's *all* it will need to contain for now).

Cheers ... Duncan.
