 From a quick test, it looks like the MS TrueType fonts are required:

	Warning: font '/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/timesbd.ttf' does
	 not exist.
	PDF support disabled.

That is a bummer since the MS TrueType fonts have an iffy redistribution
license, I don't feel comfortable shipping them as part of K12LTSP. (the
"Add Additional Software" trick does work for this, however)


Anyways, here are updated packages that support the PDF printing
functionality (if the user installs the MS TrueType fonts):

ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/testing/RPMS/schoolbell-1.2.1-k12ltsp.4.4.0a.i386.rpm
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/testing/RPMS/schooltool-0.11.1-k12ltsp.4.4.0a.i386.rpm


Be sure to install python-reportlab before trying to install these packages:

	yum install python-reportlab
