Thank you! Heck, I didn't know if it was a file or a directory. I
created a directory and added your examples (links) and the error went
away. I still get 
"FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:7100" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing" when
I control C the session. Now I'm googling for that now. Thank you again,
I'm a lot closer than I was!  Ric
